Hi James, If your application automatically displays new tweets, those created after the initial load, than yes; that would be considered "live". If however its just taking a snapshot, then no. A starting point would be to "refresh" the tweets. Having the ability to post tweets, and see them instantly show up, would also make it more live. Other ideas would be IM, chat, or other real-time activities that involve the course; like live test scoring, or something.
