I wanted to know how to trigger an event (say. storing a tweet from a particular user in a text file or mailing it etc.) when a particular user updates his tweets. Do we need to poll for the updates every few seconds or is there any other way out.
You can poll every few seconds (more like every minute, otherwise you’ll run into the API rate limit), or you could look at using the Streaming API
