see, this is what I came for. I believe there's room for optimization within the limits I have to adhere to right now. your approach seems like a stab at it and I'll think this through again in a bit if it makes sense. but you're hitting the nail on the head in terms of where my problem is, i can't change what twitter does, i can display partial results but it's suboptimal in many ways, so how can i make these partial results the best possible quality? this is where you answer seems to make sense - thanks. i'll think about this one for sure.
