i am trying to use ntwitter ,node.js and socket.io for accessing twitter user stream.the twitter user stream works fine and i can get the tweets in real time.the tweets get displayed in the console using the following function.
console.log(data.text) ;
then i want push the data to the browser.this can be done using sockets.the following link shows example of a simple node.js client for twitetrs public stream.
