twitter spider

about:
twitter friends spider -- this simple tcl script will extract the friend relationships from a twitter account and generate the DOT representation of a fancy graph representing these relationships.

the parser is working perfectly fine at the moment (March 2007), however due to the nature of non-semantic html parsing it depends on the structure of the twitter website. nevertheless this parser may always be useful as a starting point for future parsers.
