Hello everyone. If you use friendfeed, you may know that if you post a new status message on twitter, it appears in your friendfeed account only in 2 or 3 seconds. I think there is a ping API protocol between twitter and friendfeed.
How can we do that? For instance, I follow your account and you're updating your status very frequently (i.e. new status per minute) I can make a cronjob which gets your status message with RSS, but I think this is not a good way to that if you follow nearly a hundred of people. friendfeed does this for at least 30.000 twitter users and gets updates instantly. Any ideas?
