  1. Global TOP 10 is 1 @foursquare 2 @twitter 3 @mashable 4 @TechCrunch 5 @YouTube 6 @nytimes 7 @google 8 @addthis 9 @Scobleizer 10 @BarackObama
  2. 2550 Twitter users are currently indexed and about 401000 are in the queue.
  3. Ranking: 1 @foursquare 2 @twitter 3 @TechCrunch 4 @mashable 5 @YouTube 6 @netzpolitik 7 @sixtus 8 @Piratenpartei 9 @addthis 10 @wikileaks

  5. TOP 9 most active users currently seen: @KRABAT44 @Muschelschloss @FreXxX @eigensinn83 @terrorzicke @hiway @do_panic @SPIEGEL_alles @noecho
  6. @ennomane No, it's not. However, the set of indexed Twitter users became larger, so you lost rank.
  7. Note that the crawler started at German Twitter users. It seems to take some time until other Twitter users get into the Top 10.
  8. @annnalist Currently it's only an indication that you are recognized by many people in a particular (although undefined) Twitter community.
  9. Current ranks: 1 @netzpolitik 2 @sixtus 3 @Piratenpartei 4 @mspro 5 @udovetter 6 @alvar_f 7 @RegSprecher 8 @tauss 9 @ZDFonline 10 @ennomane
  10. @ennomane Graph indegree (replies, retweets) currently. Will be replaced by community-based MSD, PageRank and/or H&A rankings.
  11. Current: 1 @mspro 2 @saschalobo 3 @ennomane 4 @netzpolitik 5 @sixtus 6 @RegSprecher 7 @annnalist 8 @Piratenpartei @udovetter 9 @zeitrafferin
  12. Ok, the full crawler is rewritten. Should handle renames now and should be much faster and saner. Let's see...
  13. In the bootstrapping phase, the crawler does not get along with user renames. Renamed twitter uses will thus get a worse ranking.
  14. Now: 1 @schlenzalot 2 @isdjan 3 @frauenfuss 4 @Einstueckkaese 5 @peterbreuer 6 @Vergraemer 7 @diktator 8 @fitness_oli 9 @hoch21 10 @muserine
  15. We started crawling the Twitterverse at @diktator because he is the most popular German Twitter user according to @Favstar.
  16. The backend of this project starts in around 20 minutes. Finally.
  17. @twitterapi *sigh* no retweets in json, no fun. Or I write/use a parser for the RSS/Atom users' timeline. :-/ (user_timeline?retweets=true)
  18. @twitterapi But what if I want to see tweets+retweets of one particular user that I do not follow? (statuses/user_timeline?retweets=true)
  19. @twitterapi statuses/user_timeline wish: I hope you see the relevance of getting RTs in a user's timeline. (?retweets=true/false)
  20. @twitterapi statuses/user_timeline wish: add parameter to choose if retweets should be included or not (e.g. ?retweets=true/false or 1/0).
