Twitter bots are special Twitter users that provides you with useful information , and sometimes just plain fun stuffs. There are two types of Twitter bots:-

Auto reply bots - you have to send a direct message to this bot to get information
Announcement bots - simple message broadcasted to you once you start following this bot
