Tweetdeck user stream preview
As you’ve all heard twitter are trialling a new API, called user stream API which should do away with API call limits. I’m not a coder so cannot really go into great detail about it. Other than basically all tweets whether they be in your friends stream, @replies etc., will now be displayed in real time as they are posted instead of having to wait for Tweetdeck to call on the API at set intervals to retrieve new tweets.
It’s fun just sitting there watching there watching the tweets come flooding in, you cannot keep up with the sheer volume if like me you are following over 1,000 people, you are best creating a load of search columns to filter out tweets of interest.
I’m definitely impressed and cannot wait for this to be rolled out to the masses.
