[twitter-dev] My Oauth started failing 2 days ago...

Hi Taylor-- I'm not much of a programmer but if it would help, the problem is occurring after hitting ALLOW. I'm using Sachin Khosla (@realin) TwitterAPI wrapper class -- it was using twitter.com/oauth which was not a problem until 2 days ago.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to fetch all followers of a random user of twitter?
Correct me if I'm wrong, using ids/followers will only give me the IDs and you would need to to fetch the other information for each of the IDs one by one. Meaning, you would need to make 5001 api requests to fetch information for 5000 followers/friends (such as # of following, # of followers, # of tweets, and many more). Unlike to the method I have noted above, you would only need to do 50 api requests to fetch information on 5000 followers/friends. If there is a way I'm missing with regards to the use of the IDs, I'm all ears. Thanks!
