[twitter-dev] Re: A way to improve the Streamin API

I agree with you.

For sure a large part of data "inside" the tweet object is redundant
for any apps want to "parse only" tweet data to achieve more derivate
information

For example, to be clear and to open some sort of discussion:

tweet info (id; created_at; text; entities)
coordinates & place (if any, I really hope so)
minimal user info (screen_name; profile_url;... )

massimo
