Are robots necessary evil on Twitter? Let’s hope not, as we just release an automated Twitter feed, @ValuValu.

Instead of relying exclusively on manual tweets, we decided to do it the ‘VALU VALU’ way, that is: to automate as much as possible.

Items recently made available and top movers (that is, products going up or down) will be automatically pushed to Twitter, along with their URL.

Fear not: We’re limiting the frequency of updates!
