Help
Hashtag.org used to be good to scrape for hashtag trends, but is no longer updated. Twopular.com and Klout.com are good sites to browse for trends, but for getting raw data, it would be great to have a scraping tool that would grab the most discussed topics on twitter for a given time-period. Does anyone know if a script already exists... Google returns a bunch of links, of which most are not useful.
Thoughts, suggestions or ideas would be helpful.
Thanks.
