I wanted to test if my program is getting all the tweets it should. My simple test was track="Palin" and I timed it for exactly 5 minutes. I got 3 tweets and several replies to. Then I immediately ran this: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=Palin and looked for tweets in the last 5 minutes.
There were 7 results for the last 5 minutes. The 3 I got from the stream matched the oldest of the 7, so there were 4 newer that the steam didn't pick up. I don't mind if there is a slight delay and the missing 4 would eventually show up. How else can I tell if I'm getting all the tweets that I'm supposed to from the stream?
