It is possible to group the posts collected within each scroll FBTrex into a bin which allows to create a picture of the information diet and compare across profiles.
By placing the information collected through the API that was produced between each scroll, it is possible to create a "profile" that represents the infosphere, and how it evolved over time.
Comparing the infosphere profile to the rest of the users can allow us to see how FB applied its curatorial powers, and how much the environment FB created for each profile diverges from the universe it had at its disposal.
It would be useful if FBTrex added a column assigning a number to each scroll. Impression order is interesting, but it doesn't allow to do this on its own. If the tracker could check the FBPages followed by the profile and create the script for the API retrieval, that would also make things easier.

Ok, can be done. you basically want the incremental version of the timelineId ? (the timelineId is unique for each scrolling, can be used that ?)
