Body
The Twitter streaming api says that we should open a HTTP request and parse updates as they come in. I was under the impression that Google's urlfetch cannot keep the http request open past 10 seconds. I considered having a cron job that polled my Twitter account every few seconds, but I think Google AppEngine only allows cron jobs once a minute. However, my application needs near-realtime access to my twitter @replies (preferably only a 10 second or less lag). Are there any method for receiving real-time updates from Twitter? Thanks!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
