mufonbot's Issues

include NUFORC?

Obviously different configuration needed - incorporate with MUFON bot or prop up another bot?

Database

include attachments

There is an attachments column on the MUFON site. It'd be very cool to post one (multiple?) photos at least in a tweet where there is an attachment.

Hopefully will be possible to implement with something like Hadley's solution here

e.g., with .png or .jpg

page %>%
  html_nodes("a") %>%       # find all links
  html_attr("href") %>%     # get the url
  str_subset("\\.xlsx") %>% # find those that end in xlsx
  .[[1]]                    # look at the first one

add hashtag for city

At the end of the tweet, substring the city field to reach a wider audience and paste/glue as a hashtag. What if someone else saw the same thing and it popped up on Twitter?!
