I am going to be providing a twitter feed inside and Android app that allows re-tweets, favorites and reply to the tweet. I understand that there is a search api and also a streaming api. This is a major live event and I was just wondering if the search api is the way to go or if streaming api might be better.
So basically inside the live event android app, I have a twitter feed that will be read allowing users to re-tweet etc. So its like a little twitter client within the app. Is streaming the way to go here, or is it more trouble than its worth, and the search api is better with some type of polling?
