This makes me curious is there any reason why the users couldn't provide the data themselves or poll the API via javascript?

Since we're using BackType as well to calculate the score, it was easier to do both requests server-side. We pre-ran a long list of popular users and all of their followers, but guess we didn't reach enough people :(

If you leave the tab open, it will finish.
