It is always interesting to find out what exactly is happening around the world as they are happening. This feature of knowing something as it happens is so called “realtime” or “near realtime” because of the network latency, delay for processing the data, delay for visualizing and streaming the data, etc.
Now imagine you can monitor most international news agencies on Twitter in real time. What I have been developing for the last few months is an application that allows you to not only get important news and highlights around the world as they are happening but also persists the data for the window of 24 hours so you can always have the ability to read important news and highlights that have already happened.
