We are developing a new application to automatically detect and respond to user inquiries about program air dates and times. The application will poll Twitter and Facebook for user posts matching a predefined text pattern. The application will get its program information from an internal database. A Web based interface to access program schedule data is being implemented to fit a specification designed in collaboration with the EPICS team.
