I created a Twitter bot named @CLEHelperBot. It retweets the hashtag #WhereInCleveland. That’s all it does. What’s the point?
My thought process:
- I frequently don’t know where to find stuff in Cleveland. Stuff like gaffer’s tape, a decent tailor, an old-school barbershop, a date.
- How do I find people who know the answers to these questions?
- How can I make this useful for other folks?
For the bot to be useful, two things need to happen:
- Many Cleveland folks need to follow @CLEHelperBot and reply with answers to the #WhereInCleveland tweets it retweets.
- People need to use #WhereInCleveland when they want to find something around here.
I’m trying to crowdsource local knowledge to help out visitors & residents alike. If you use Twitter & live in Cleveland, I’d appreciate your help getting this off the ground.

@AdamInCLE that’s a cool idea. Would totally follow if I still lived in Cleveland.
