Hi Catherine, Before investing too much time in the technical specifics, I would suggest you contact Facebook and confirm they will not shut down your access once they identify you are crawling them. This has been an issue for my research team here at MSU and others I've spoken with. Nicole Catherine Dwyer writes:
hello, I am planning a survey of Facebook members at NJIT, where I am a PhD student. I would like to write a web crawl or similar program to identify through Facebook who is part of the NJIT network. I have seen other papers discuss this technique, but I need more specific details as to how to accomplish it. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Cathy Dwyer, Lecturer Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems Pace University http://csis.pace.edu/~dwyer Office location: CS/IS Faculty Offices 163 Williams Street #225 212-346-1728
