PhantomJS is great for scrapping, but the proposed solution can still be easily recognized as a bot behaviour. Twitter can easily block it for excessive page loads, for example serving CAPTCHA the same way Google does to prevent search scrappers. I can't see how this solution would be more solid and future-proof.
- zapt02 14y agoCompletely right. A lot of social sites, notably Facebook do this when you for example post bit.ly links, so users are already groomed to accept it. Then again, you could buy external captcha solving services and keep on trucking. :)
