问题
I've been playing around with the R twitteR package and haven't figured out how to implement a system to collect more than the maximum per hour # of followers for a twitter user.
I know the plan should be to collect the maximum, wait X amount of time, then repeat until all are collected, but how do I do this with the twitteR package?
the getFollowers(n) process would just keep getting the same n followers each time.

Try adding blockOnRateLimit=TRUE to your call. It'll sit and wait until it can complete (which could be a long time depending on the size of your request). It is a 'hidden' arg as I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep it the way it is or not - and in fact it is almost certainly going to change somewhat for the next version but for now it should get you where you need to go.
