I am going to try both. thanks, abraham and Raffi.

additionally, could you guys help me consider such case? in my app, I
need to fetch the tweets from about 400+ accounts to fullfill the
table in the firstly launch( it's an iphone app actually).  how to
avoid blacklisted by server for the suddenly flood of api call? the
user_timeline should fit my requirements but I am still a little
concern about the performance and server's reaction even if I cache
server response.
BR,
Zhu
