Thanks Andy, that's very interesting. I looked at Twitter's streaming API, but
afaict it's only useful for non-browser apps.
They talk about using a single HTTP request and getting back an infinitely long
document (with some delimeters).

"You need to use raw sockets to consume the streaming API."
But, without websockets I don't think this is possible with XmlHttpRequest().
