Twitter API getting multiple streams - El Forum - 10-26-2010

[eluser]Oozooo[/eluser]
Hi there,

I think i am trying to do the impossible.

I've got a website with a lot of company profiles (300+).

I want to place a stream on every profile page, and allow the owner of that profile page to enter some keywords in the backend with the keywords they want the stream to display.

1 thing would be to do this with javascript on the fly, on every profile page.

But, since I want to use the combination of every profile stream on the frontpage and parse images in a tweet (yfrog, plixi) i thought it would be best to cache them into a mysql db, and work from there with PHP. (Maybe SEO advantage over Javascript? )

Is this even possible ?

My first bet was to make a REST call to the api with the keywords from all company profiles , put them to the DB and store which keyword would be connected to that tweet.

Any thoughts on this ?
