Hi all,
Requests for this have come up before so I opened a ticket for
the person working on our tokenizer to add this. I'm not sure when
he'll get to it but it's on the road map now. One bit of forewarning:
if you try to query for every ticker symbol every five minutes you're
building something unscalable and you can expect to hit the rate
limit. Not that I'm sure this is what people have in mind but I
thought I'd put this out there ahead of time just in case.

My SWAG is that they are just parsing their follower/friend stream
