Subject: Re: Trying to parse stream.twitter.com, please help.

Finally made some progress, which means one less grudge :-)  I'm 
guessing this thread will get some traffic in the near future, so I'm 
posting what I believe is a good starting block.  While it's not a 
parsing solution, it should aim in the right direction.

require 'rubygems'
require 'json'

BASE_URL = "http://stream.twitter.com/spritzer.json"
USER = "-uuser_name:password"

File.open("update_file", "a") do |f|
  IO.popen("curl #{BASE_URL} #{USER}") do |p|
    p.each do |status|
      f.puts status
    end
  end
end
