Please can we get a Twitter xmpp feed. If Twitter are not going to
offer this can they allow GNIP to go live. GNIP say Twitter are not
allowing them to offer the firehose via xmpp to developers. Why? Pull
based polling is last year. Maybe at the least Twitter could offer a
Long polling option like friendfeed to give a psuedo realtime feed
Thanks in advance

POST requests are unlimited.
We used to support XMPP as an experimental feature, but we don't
currently.
Delivering push features at our scale is a challenge. We're currently
making our traditional REST request/response APIs the best they can
be. In the future, maybe we'll tackle push as well. In the medium
term, select partners will be able to have tweets pushed to them over
HTTP via our "firehose" mechanism.
As Andrew suggested, there's been quite a lot of discussion on these
topics in this group and elsewhere on the web.

Hi there, I was wondering if it's possible to push data, rather than
have the content pulled with JSON or XML fetches. You can poll after
set amounts of time, but that only present the illusion of Push, and
uses up bandwith.
Also, is the API limit applied to POST requests?
Lastly, has Twitter thought about implementing XMPP.
