8The bot uses [YAMLcpp](https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp) to read a configuration file, MySQL C API to read the WordNet database (seeded with [this MySQL version of WordNet 2.0](androidtech.com/html/wordnet-mysql-20.php)), and [twitcurl](https://github.com/swatkat/twitcurl) to send the status updates to Twitter.
