 All of this is very hackish, but if it's of any use to you, then great!
 
+## Getting started
+
+I think it's just running the scripts. For instance, I have the following
+entries in crontab:
+
+```
+*/6 * * * * $HOME/twitter/fetch_tweets.sh 2>/dev/null
+*/15 * * * * $HOME/twitter/track_followers.sh >/dev/null
+2 7 * * * $HOME/twitter/report_followers.sh
+```

+Warning: I have not tested this as a means to extract past tweets. You might
+well hit limits of Twitter. However, Twitter does let you export your entire
+history to a Zip file. I've done that, and so should you. Then please write
+a translator to squeeze all those data into the archive created with my
+scripts, and submit a patch.
