So are you doing some contract work here? Very cool! Anyway here's what I'd do. I'd figure out who my top twitter's are. That exercise is left to the student. Then I'd create a Twitter account and follow those 100 users. To get updates from those users, simply use the friends_timeline method on the account following the users and bam(!) you have your feed of your top 100.
If this list is in flux then you can simply use the friendship methods to keep your follow list up to date. How does that sound? @dougw On Feb 2, 10:40 am, Cameron Kaiser <spec...@floodgap.com> wrote: > > Hi Cameron, > > I again went through the client requirements, > > This is what he says: > > > ".... the Top 1000. > > top twitter users of the day, week, month > > twitters with the most tweets today, this hour. > > twitters with the most unfollows and most follows. > > ...." > > > ne ideas? > > Yes.
