Carl, At this point, we are not encouraging end-user applications to communicate directly with the Streaming API. The primary purpose of the Streaming API is currently for service-to-service integrations. For example, we don't currently support oAuth.
You may release your application, however. Each user must provide their credentials over basic auth. If everyone came in with your credentials, first, they'd probably be able to change your password and/or create spam on your account. Secondly, the Streaming API only allows one connection per account at a time. You'd only be able to support one user on your application -- yourself. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.
