User Streams are documented here:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/user_streams

Even if there were no user streams, the streaming search api would still
be useful for #hashtag and other searches.

** Description changed:

  Twitter messages can be downloaded streaming, instead of the need for
  periodic polling.
  
  Several methods are included in their streaming API:
- http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation
+ http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api
  
  Some Python libraries support these methods including Tweepy:
