You have to think beyond PHP. 1) Consider having a third-party ping monitoring utility ping your PHP script to hit the Search API for the tag once a minute. 2) Write something in Python or Ruby or C++ and have it run on the server as a daemon, once a minute. Or have curl or something else local on the server cron'd to call your script once a minute. 3) Chad Etzel's TweetHook might be a more real-time option for you and would remove the necessity of you doing something once a minute -- I would definitely check it out. It will automagically post search data back to your hook callback URL. ∞ Andy Badera ∞ +1 518-641-1280 ∞ This email is: [ ] bloggable [x] ask first [ ] private ∞ Google me: http://www.google.com/search?q=andrew%20badera On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 4:27 AM, Chris bigonr...@googlemail.com wrote: I want to write a tool that monitors a channel, say #startnow, and checks say, every minute, to see if its been updated.

You can actually also make PHP scripts run as a daemon, or as a CLI application that you can call via cron every minute. I've done this in the past, but it was years ago. Do a quick google search for run php script as daemon and you'll find plenty of help and examples...

If you'd like to monitor a static set of hashtags, use the Streaming API. You'll receive the highest proportion of tags with the least amount of filtering and hassle.
