The key is to avoid using something as a delimter that will show up as a 
matter of course in JSON objects.  Twitter uses \r\n pairs for their API 
(which I believe they serve up as application/json).  They may also include 
blank lines.  This format can be parsed using something as simple as the 
following:

function parse_JSON_stream(s) {
  return s.split("\r\n").filter(function (l) { return l != 
'';}).map(function (l) { JSON.parse(l); });
}

Using \n all by itself is safe if you encode with JSON.stringify and don't 
specify a third parameter.
