BotSight: Real-Time Twitter Bot Annotator

BotSight is a Chrome extension that allows you to browse Twitter while annotating each handle with a bot-probability score. It works across most of Twitter's views and also scans the contents of the tweets for annotation. While still in development, it is a real-time Twitter bot annotator that helps identify bots and real users.

It used to be useful but about a year ago whatever metric they were using to classify bots changed. Liking posts from "the wrong people" will drop your score almost as fast as removing followers will. (Yes, if you remove a bunch of followers at once, even if they're the bitcoin spambots we all know and love, your score takes a hit.)
