ChatterBot has the capability to integrate with various social networking sites to learn from user input and also respond to input. Implementation has been specified for the following social platforms.

Twitter

• Retrieve OAuth token for Twitter
• Reply to direct messages

Communication

• Create statements / replies based on statements learned from social media sites.

Right now you are using OAuth 1 for Twitter, though it's recommended to use OAuth 2 instead.

Considering the other services listed here use OAuth 2, and act on individual users instead of the application, you may want to look into migrating to it.

Originally, I was also considering the creation of methods to retrieve data and interact with people through the APIs of Google+, Discus, and GitHub. I'm going to hold off on those for now until I can determine how well each platform will work as a potential source of training data and a medium for communication.
