- djb_hackernews 16y agoThe twitter streaming api lets you track 5k users http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api so you'd only need 4 users and 4 clients running on 4 AWS micro instances. But Twitter will shut you down once they find you syndicating the content.
