Twitter loop

Recently I spotted a funny trend. There are bots on twitter which grab tweets according to keywords or hash tags. That has a good use if you want to read tweets about #as3, #flashdev and stuff. This is indeed very good for spammers. I saw many times spam links were marked with unrelated tags. But what would be more interesting is to see if it’s possible to create infinite loops of bots reposting each others’ tweets. I wonder if they have some kind of protection from that.
