Personally, I think it would be great if the Streaming API could support streaming the with_friends timeline. There are many compelling use cases.
You can simulate streaming the with_friends timeline by grabbing your following list to populate a follow parameter to the /1/statuses/ filter.format resource. You can also simulate mentions by defining a track query for all the followed screen_names on the same connection. Yes, you won't get protected statuses, but you could poll for those whenever a certain time period had passed and only after new status arrived. This would allow you to place protected statuses in correct chronological order without hitting rate limits, but with higher latency. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.
