That's pretty cool. How did you get around the issue that you have to issue that you have to do an API call for every follower to get their details (quickly outstripping the number of API requests the average person has)? Or at least, that's how you had to do it prior.
Unfortunately, the information it gave me wasn't helpful: @BarackObama, @TwitPic, @Schwarzenegger, @WholeFoods, @Starbucks, @zappos, @threadless, @imogenheap, @charitywater, @ijustine
Basically, I have a handful of big companies and politicians following me. The only one I've met a handful of times personally and had any interaction with is iJustine.
- mittermayr 15y agoYou know iJustine? Congrats :) Regarding your point: Yes, as discussed in other parts of the comment section, I believe that tonight I'll take some time and implement a feature that allows you to hide people who have a ton of followers, and also, follow a huge amount of people ... which basically, doesn't mean anything to you then. so this should address the issue.
- mittermayr 15y agoand regarding the api: twitter has updated it so that I can query a huge list of IDs (with paging), then in a second query, submit up to 100 ids and get data back (iterating in packs of 100) ... it's probably not solving the issue fully, for Barack that is, but for most of us, it should.
