Putting one more nail in the coffin in the trend of making a "twitter streamer" to demo any new web technology.

...but seriously, without source code, why is this on HN? There are already github projects like http://github.com/technoweenie/twitter-node that have implemented it. This isn't particularly remarkable except for the topic chosen.

Actually, this uses technoweenie's excellent twitter-node project. Hats off to technoweenie.

An example of real-world node.js, that's all. And it's 420.
