Love the project, thanks for your efforts. API makes sense if we are calling for specific user names, but if we are analyzing a lot of tweets like search results, might make more sense to provide us with a ftp location for the entire file so that we can do local lookups more quickly on our local box.
Also, using early people like Ev as the seed accounts is interesting and I get the benefits of using early adopters to avoid late entry spammers, but I'm guessing even they have strange motivations for following someone that might skew the charts in a big way. I don't have a solution, just more questions. :) Thanks, Leonard Speiser On Jun 15, 10:11 pm, burton <burtona...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think what we could do is given a Twitter user, determine if it's > connected to the main part of the graph. > > Instead of just a drone twitter/spammer account. > > That would be nice...... > > On Jun 15, 8:52 pm, "Joel Strellner" <j...@twitturly.com> wrote: > > > > > Kevin, > > > We'd be very interested in an API that could determine spammers from regular > > users.
