David,
From my understanding of Gnip it mostly provides the Twitter public
feed.

Dale, Thanks for the response.
What I was not sure about was the comment on only public users working
with Gnip.
I'm real curious to know if the Facebook application by Twitter use
Gnip.

Using them you should get a large volume of tweets in an event driven
manner as Alex indicated. That would give you plenty of speed.

Hello,
I realize that there are already discussions on pushing tweets to
3rd
party apps. However, I'm still a little confused.
I'm interested in knowing if its possible to design something very
similar to the Twitter's Facebook Application (http://

applications/#/apps/application.php?id=2231777543&b=&ref=pd_r).
I have read that:

If you want to talk directly to the Twitter API, polling is
currently
the supported way. You can poll us often - we've optimized for
that.
If you won't be able to sleep at night unless you have an event-
based
system, check out what Gnip currently offers. You can get
notifications from them when public Twitter users send updates.
The Facebook application does not appear to poll (its very fast) and
it seems to do more than just public Twitter users. Does it use
some
home cook'n (internal Twitter APIs)? Can i find more information on
the Facebook app? Is the answer XMPP? Any example code would be
very
helpful.
Thank you in advance for the help.
