Re: [twitter-dev] twitter public timeline
Hi Alfredo, I recommend taking a look at the Twitter Streaming API at http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api for an application like this.

[twitter-dev] twitter public timeline
I'm creating an application that relies on public / timeline: this application must must be select the posts that have a value preceded by "$" character, eg "Today I buy $AAPL to the stockexchange i like apple industries", and then i store them in a database. My question is this: is it true that you can not because "the problem here is mostly due to volume. A cron-driven php script will not be able to filter the whole stream, since there is a limit on number of returned results, and people post quicker than we can receive?. For instance, if you search something rather generic twitter, there will be thousands of new results after a few minutes; we can only fetch 20 posts through public timeline" At this URL "http://stocktwits.com/streams/all"; there is an application that responds to my own needs, and reformulating the question: with the current Twitter API is it possible to create an application that aggregates all the Twitter messages that contain a symbol preceded by the character "$" ? Best Regards Alfredo
