The hard part is dealing with Twitter's API rate limit and scaling. It's nearly impossible to pull down the data for large accounts like @aplusk. 5k id's at a time, pulled synchronously (due to Twitter's API paging system), by the time you're able to get all the data, he's already received 1k new followers.
