If you recall twitter in 07/08 we had the same thing. It was just the “SxSWesties” on twitter. They wanted “more users” then complained when the “non tech” people jumped on. 1. It was the minority complaining but being loud about it, and 2. It worked itself out. The solution is more tools, not less peeps.

Agree with this. Hashtags in theory are great, but as Warpcast and other platforms grow people just abuse them for spam and they become nearly useless. +1 for channels, much easier to manage.

It can be done, but they’ve made it far more difficult than it was in the past. I’m sure 3rd party apps exist, but I’d write a script to scrape using DOM. You’d have to RAND pause between scrapes and use various IPs.
