Jazzychad.net/rollthedice - Twitter Dice Rolling Bot

Twitter is certainly creating a lot of buzz at the moment both in online circles and even around the dinner table. This buzz, and the fact that Twitter’s API is open, has stimulated a huge number of developers to develop applications for Twitter. Rollthedice is one such application that will roll dice, play high card, flip a coin or generate a random number for you. Assuming you already have a Twitter account, using rollthedice is simple, just choose to follow rollthedice on Twitter and then send direct messages to it. Send the message “roll” and rollthedice rolls one 6-sided die for you and gives you the result. Send the message “flip” and rollthedice flips a coin for you or “random” and it will pick a random number between one and thirty.

“Meet rollthedice. rollthedice is a twitter bot you can use to generate all sorts of random events. Some of the things you can do with rollthedice are: Roll Dice, Flip a coin, Deal cards, Generate a random number. More coming soon!”

This could become a popular application on Twitter for those who often need a bit of help making a difficult decision. If the Magical Eight Ball from the ‘80s was a hit, rollthedice could become this decade’s random decision maker.

Will people be interested in using this service? We all have a coin in our pocket and are for the most part capable of flipping it, so what new additions will rollthedice be “rolling” out to make this a more attractive solution?
