To test how this works I built a streaming parser for the Spritzer feed, and it occurred to me that I could make this data available to everyone.
So, here it is: http://tdash.org/stats/clients I dunno if the OP just wanted an approx count of the client's tweets or the actual list of tweets. Personally, I would like to have both. It will be great if Twitter can allow search for "source:myclient" without requiring a keyword to be specified.
