[[Existing Crawlers]]
 
Spent a significant amount of time with Harsh tying to figure out how to get the existing twitter crawler to work and download its output file to a place we can access.
 
HERE IS THE PLAN
Making plans for how to use twitter crawler to find relevant people to follow:
I am changing the twitter crawler so that it will do this:
 
WE PLUG IN:
The twitter handle of a person we think posts content similar to ours or whose followers are likely to overlap with people interested in us
What the crawler will do:
Crawl their tweets and make a count for each tweet for how many entrepreneur buzzwords we find.
Take the top scoring tweet and crawl the followers of that tweet.
Rank the RTs by selection criteria which I haven't totally decided yet but might include:
- How many of their tweets contain buzzwords
- their follower/following ration
- how active they are
 
OUTPUT: a list of twitter handles of people who are similar to us/ like our kind of content/ are likely to follow back and interact with us.
