Just get some followers - stop button #75

Open frabcus opened 10 years ago

One user is running the tool a lot, hits the rate limits, and is worried about Twitter blocking them completely. This partly addressed by https://github.com/scraperwiki/twitter-follows-tool/issues/74 but also could:

1) Option to just get followers (not also following) - I don't think we really need this though 2) Only get the most recent 1000 followers - that's kind of reasonable as quicker / easier, and often useful enough. Perhaps have a "stop" button? 3) When closing tool, doesn't kill the running process so rate limit carries on.
