Not without work. You can do that in three ways: - Get the public timeline/firehose with the API, and filter it to the people you want. - Make a user that follows those people, and then fetch that user's friends' timeline. (This is my recommendation, especially if your following list does not change extremely rapidly.) - Use the search API, although hundreds of query terms may be considered unfriendly. In all of these situations you will need to consider ratelimiting, particularly the first two. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- Of course, what I really want is total world domination. -- Linus Torvalds -
