Overview

A daemonized TweetStream client that will allow you to create backgroundable scripts for application specific processes. For instance, if you create a script called tracker.rb and fill it with this:

require 'rubygems'
require 'tweetstream'

TweetStream.configure do |config|
  config.consumer_key = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
  config.consumer_secret = '0123456789'
  config.oauth_token = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
  config.oauth_token_secret = '0123456789'
  config.auth_method = :oauth
end

TweetStream::Daemon.new('tracker').track('intridea') do |status|
  # do something here
end

And then you call this from the shell:

ruby tracker.rb start

A daemon process will spawn that will automatically run the code in the passed block whenever a new tweet matching your search term ('intridea' in this case) is posted.
