favibot
favibot.py searches Twitter for tweets containing "[X] is my new favourite word". It then takes all those new favourite words, logs them, lowercases them, and adds them to a list of words on Wordnik. It then tweets them and favibot.sh runs on the logged words and makes top 10 lists and word clouds.
It also does the same for "[X] is my new favorite word" and "[X] is my new fave word" so you can see some geographic variation.
