Following Retweeters of Hash Tag Question

Post by RootCause »

If I want to follow the people that retweet a tweet with #amc in it, how would I do that?

1.) Do I use a custom search like this:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8o8b465rl3nse ... 2.png?dl=0

or

2.) Do I place #amc in "Search Term" then in the drop-down, choose "Authors of Tweets Returned By Tweet Search"?

Finally, what does "Authors of Tweets Liked By User" mean?

Both are correct. You can do it via custom search, but the dropdown default search is a quicker way to do it
Finally, what does "Authors of Tweets Liked By User" mean?
a profile has liked some tweets, you can scrape the tweets the profile has liked, then you can follow the accounts that made the tweets (that the profile liked).


So perhaps there is a profile you follow, who tends to like quality tweets, you are using this profile as a quality good (they only like good tweets, thus the people making those tweets you want to follow)

... and a user would be added as an url?

So if I want to follow all the authors of all the tweets that user XYZ liked, I'd enter http://twitter.com/XYZ ++ Authors of tweets liked by user...?

Yes, I searched the forum ;)

correct, input is either PROFILE URL or ID.

Username might work, but that involves the program detecting it as search, so best to use URL
