I always knew Nigel's Twitter bot was pretty cool. It took a number of back-and-forth emails between us before I could even understand how it works. Then a few days ago, Technology Review published an article about the Twitter bot which is a great account of how it works:

Then over the last day or so, the news has gone viral including WUWT:

Now that its hit the denialosphere, Nigel is starting to cop flack from skeptics (but in that same kind of grudging "why didn't we think of it first" manner - look at the first comment on the WUWT page).

Great work, Nigel!

You know you're making an impact when Morano has a crack at you:

Nigel, be glad Morano doesn't have your email - otherwise you would be receiving a flood of abuse from his followers right now.
