twitter goggles v1.1

see twitter as someone else sees it, by picking someone you follow at random and creating a list populated with everyone they follow.

installation

requirements: python 2.7x, tweepy, valid twitter API credentials

pip install tweepy

then you'll need to visit https://apps.twitter.com/ to create an application (if you don't have one already) and get your API credentials. here's a guide that explains how to do that: http://iag.me/socialmedia/how-to-create-a-twitter-app-in-8-easy-steps/

note the following information:

Consumer Key

Consumer Secret

Access Token

Access Token Secret

Owner ID

paste each of those (and your twitter handle) into its appropriate field in creds.txt, and you should be able to run the script.

running the script

python goggles.py

generating another list

edit goggles.py line 70 and change the name 'goggles' to a different name
