Site Streams Beta Test
Site Streams, a new feature on the Streaming API, is now available for beta testing. Site Streams allows services, such as web sites or mobile push services, to receive real-time updates for a large number of users without any of the hassles of managing REST API rate limits. Events can be streamed for all users that have OAuthed your application. The following events are streamed without rate limits: Home Timelines, Mentions Timelines, User Timelines, Direct Messages, Mentions, Follows, Favorites, Tweets, Retweets, Profile changes, and List changes.
