Twitter Relevant Information

Can you tell which are the most relevant tweets for a given user? And the most relevant users? A relevant tweet is a tweet that mentions a certain user. Also, it cannot be a reply to the user's tweet.

This project gathers and lists the most relevant tweets and users for a certain user. They are sorted by importance:

Tweets of users that have more followers
Tweets that have more retweets
Tweets that have more likes
