Somewhere.. either in my house, or out in the cloud, a little voice is cheerily chirping ‘hi’ on my behalf. (at least its friendly) \u00a0I must have built a connected device, or a cloud or mobile app that is sending the simple message ‘hi’ to twitter. .. The problem with that is sending ‘hi’ to twitter is like wearing different color socks.. or some other social faux pax reserved for digitally illiterate newbies..<\/p>\n

i quess thats what I am..<\/p>\n

I’m trying to figure out how to find this little thing. Kevin M. suggested using wireshark to trace traffic to twitter in my house.. I’m going to do that.. but I think it’s something I left running in the cloud somewhere .. maybe a nodered demo app. that tweets hi when something happens.. All I know is that it started on Dec 30th.. Any ideas on how to trace this ?<\/p>\n
