This is a follow-up to our article The fastest growing data science / big data profiles on Twitter. Now our intern Livan has developped an app that displays the number of new followers and total number of followers for the most popular data science / big data Twitter profiles, for any time period, allowing you to detect trends with the naked eye. Click here to check out the app and play with it (move the various cursors on the left-hand side, to make the corresponding chart appear on your screen). Below is a screenshot. Click here to see a sample of the Python code for this Twitter API. Still in Beta mode!
