Better do it early so we have good stats.

Puneet asked for Twitter, so I'm in the process of adding
http://twitter.com/SarahPalin . But I'm not sure how your crawler will handle 
Twitter
- it has no threads, no replies, and "next page of threads" is AJAXed. Which 
regexes
should go where so your crawler doesn't crash?

The crawler won't crash. You just need to make sure that "threadURL" will match 
the
URL of the start page because the site is pretty much just a page of posts. You 
can
add null regexes for anything that doesn't exist. You need to test to make sure 
but I
think that's all you need to have in mind.

Puneet wanted Yahoo Groups, but to read a group, you need to be a member of that
group. So I guess we can't crawl Yahoo Groups, right?

Added Twitter.  All that's left is Yahoo Groups... (read last comment).

Decided not to do Yahoo Groups. All the lively groups are member-read-only. 
Added
Gizmodo instead.  It's weird how the replies don't show up in the HTML source, 
so I'm
only scraping for the first post right now.

This is the site I mentioned that Puneet had mentioned:

seems like this weird reply structure won't work since the replies have to be 
on the
same page as the first post, right?

yes, you're right. Our regular expressions don't support this.

Fuck Yahoo. They can't get anything right.
