Perfect I have a basic implementation working already with one of my existing clients... very powerful
Slight change of topic to the Site Streams. The documentation mentions public statuses. I also have a push notification service on iPhone and certainly Site Streams seems like the right method for this, however if I need to follow thousands of users and also get their DM's and from both public and protected accounts (I have the oAuth credentials to authenticate them too), are these available just by following a user in a Site Stream?
