I need a real-time social API like Gnip.com. if you look at the following link you can see all sites they offer (all req'd):

They've given some advice on how they built their API using open source protocol called STREST, read this here:
[login to view URL]
I need a Gnip-like service using the tech Trendrr have used (if open source and easier)
