Re: [twitter-dev] Follower count over time
Ryan, you might want to check out twittercounter and their api. They have some cool data around follower growth.

I've seen several sites that list a graph that shows your follower count over time. ex) 4/1/10 you had 200 followes...5/1/2010 you had 247 followersand so on. I would love to add this feature to my Twitter site, but can't find the data that I would need in order to do it. Does the API provide information on any of the following? 1. # of followers at a particular time? 2. Time in which a follower began following you? If the API doesn't provide this info, then how are other sites doing this? I doubt its from checking daily as the moment you sign up with a site that has this feature, they have your follower graph over time for at least 12 months of history. Thanks in advance!!! Ryan

Ryan That's a good suggestion for a new field, started_following.
