Hi I am a developer , trying to figure out a way to develop a push notification solution for iPhone users.
The easy way to do the push work, is to have a cron-job to check users' new mentions and DMs. It should work for small number of users. What if we have a large user base, say , 500, 000 users at least? How can we use a proper solution to get a 2-minutes delay push for any user's mentions and DMs? (we can't afford the server cost for half million requests every 2 minutes) I know there are a few Twitter push clients for iPhone , but none of them can work on a scaled user base, am I right? Is there a twitter tech support here? could you please give some suggestions?
