Hi,

What does it mean to do "track" on a user stream? I had thought that
it would just be like my user stream but filtered to just those tweets
that have the keyword/hashtag. But, when I actually do it, i see a
stream of public tweets that match that track keyword, not just the
ones from the people I follow.

Does track in fact work with user streams in the way I was thinking?
If not, what is the recommended way for me to get just tweets on my
user stream that match a given hashtag. Should I just match against
the "entities" block myself?

Here is what I'm sending:

POST /2/user.json HTTP/1.1
Host: userstream.twitter.com
Accept-Encoding: identity
Content-Length: 28
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Authorization: OAuth realm="", oauth_version="1.0",
oauth_signature="XXXXXX", oauth_nonce="XXXXXX",
oauth_timestamp="XXXXXX", oauth_token="XXXXXX",
oauth_consumer_key="XXXXXX", oauth_signature_method="XXXXXX"

track=apple&delimited=length

And here is what is being returned:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: Jetty(6.1.25)

followed by the friends list and messages

Thanks,
-James
