Hi,

I have created a Twitter conversion bot. I just converts Bitcoin to fiat currencies, not the opposite so far. In order to do so, you must mention @bitconversions and send a number amount together with a hash tag of the international currency code in capital letters.

To know how much is a half Bitcoin in US dollars is just tweeting:

@bitconversions 0.5 #USD

You could also ask it naturally in any language:

@bitconversions how much is 0.5 bitcoins in #USD?

The bot should reply with the answer in just a few seconds. The bot uses bitcoinaverage.com API to retrieve the price. You can check which is your code in there. Rates are updated every ten seconds and are worldwide.

I believe it's a nice way to promote bitcoin and to get a fast conversion on the way. I'd like any feedback: https://twitter.com/bitconversions

I agree with this, because maybe people forget to tweet on your timeline, so is very useful for alternative people for check bitcoin price besides tweet on your timeline.
