[LRUG] Help with getting Rubygems/Ruby to work in Twitter datamining

[Stuart Harrison]

Hi Dennis,

Have you looked at ScraperWiki? (https://scraperwiki.com/), it allows you
to write data mining (screenscraping) scripts in Ruby 'in the cloud' (as it
were). Might be easier than getting Ruby set up on your local machine?

Cheers

Stuart
