Description
This crawler takes as input the twitter handle of a person we think posts similar content to us or is an account we admire.
It completes the following steps to use their information to find people we should consider following: 1) Crawls the tweets of that user and notes, for each tweet, how many times a buzzword (entrepreneur((s)hip), research(ers), innovat(e)(ion)) appears 2) Composes a list of the best tweets (most buzzwords) produced by the account in it's most recent 50 tweets. 3) Crawls the people who retweeted the tweets with the most buzzwords. 4) Makes note of how many times a buzzwords was used, for each of the retweeters. 5) Outputs a csv file which gives the usernames and a score (number of buzzwords) for each of the users.
