Twitter Bot: UkeChord

Edit (May 18, 2012): This bot is now defunct.

I would like to introduce you all to my new creation UkeChord. UkeChord is an automated Twitter robot who will send you ukulele fingerings for any chord you request.

Goal: To offer Ukulele chord fingerings via text message.

Preparation:

  1. Follow Twitter user "ukechord"

  2. Configure Twitter to forward direct messages to your phone.

Getting a chord fingering:

  1. Text Twitter (40404) with: "@ukechord" followed by the chord name.

  2. Receive chord fingering.

Below are the chord names it understands. C can be replaced by any note sharp (#) or flat (b):
