Diving into the Twitter Stream
Hey iCoders. As I posted earlier I recently made an iPad app called TweetMapper. I just put out a new release of the app with a big new feature. The app now has a scrolling timeline of the tweets it is seeing as they come in. In order to make this app I took advantage of the Twitter Stream API that is provided by twitter. This API creates a persistent connection between the Twitter servers and your application. We will essentially start a stream of incoming NSData object to an NSURLConnection that you create querying the stream. We will look into the different search parameters which can be passed into the request, the way in which our code responds to authentication requests from Twitter, and the logic we must use to ensure that the data we have received is a complete XML element and not chopped off.

Tweet Mapper in the App Store
I recently decided to look into the Stream API that is provided by Twitter. Though this API, you can specify a request with certain parameters and be stream tweets as they are posted live. I decided to make my first iPad app using it called Tweet Mapper. Tweet Mapper is meant to be a window into the live world of Twitter. It doesn't require a Twitter account to use and is free in the store. The app looks at 10 major cities; Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Miami, Barcelona, London, Tokyo, Rome and Mexico City.
