I’ve been trying to integrate live tweets into an upcoming performance. Specifically displaying tweets that have a specific hashtag. Has anyone had any luck using the twitter streaming api inside of Touch? I’ve seen the twitter search component posted in the forums but it seems to not work with real time tweets. This kind of web interaction into live visuals would be sweet to do inside of touch.
Bump. I am also interested in pulling tweets live by using the twitter stream. The web DAT is good but i’d like to be able to stream, not call every few seconds.
yah I’m thinking that it would be worth messing with datasift (if it still exists)

it’s focused on a realtime, firehose model instead of the polling approach used by Yahoo pipes.
as TonySnark sez, the web DAT would need to be updated to stream this stuff.
