To put some more information behind this (I am part of the group behind http://tweetback.holzhauer.it ): What we do now: When a post is being opened for the first time, we check at search.twitter.com for the tinyurl of the article and post those as comments. The next time the post is called, we check if at least 15 minutes have passes and if so, search.twitter gets called again.
So what do you think about this? this might cost up to 96 calls to search.twitter.com per blogpost for each blog and day, but of course not all blogposts are normally being polled every day.
