I think using the streaming api is your best bet. Otherwise you will probably lose out on tweets if you are trying to wade through the public timeline using simple keyword match. If you dont mind losing some tweets as you process the public_timeline in intervals, then the app sounds feasible to me. - Mohan -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
