I'm experimenting with the twitter streaming API. BeStream is currently a real-time stream of everyone I follow on Twitter and all messages sent to them (Not including messages from people with private timelines) It's archiving everything to sqlite database, so I'll have a copy of my twitter stream even when twitter doesn't keep it anymore. There is no admin type interface yet. Also, I'll be adding features as I come up with ideas that I feel I just have to have. Yesterday, I made a nice discovery of the PEAR module System_Daemon for PHP.  I had been trying to do the system daemon handling manually and having some success, but I have to recommend System_Daemon if all you need is a single daemon process.  Apparently it doesn't do spawning of child processes in order to have a way to have a parent daemon that distributes jobs.  But couldn't the app do that itself?  I dont need that now, but I think I'll have to research it now that I've thought of it. :) Robert
