mentions.js

$.get('https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/mentions.json?include_entities=true', {'since_id':'1234'}, function(data){
    // parse that shit

    // insert that shit
});

How often do we poll? Does it insert that shit in order or just stick it at the top?

Needs to check for tweets that were already pulled down by the server, and also needs to add code to the current tweet-rendering stuff to check for duplicates as well.

What about when they refresh the page? Don't worry about old replies?

Polling every 30 seconds. Mentions are a rarer creature. We can insert as they come in. The order doesn't need to be precisely important. We can lose them on refresh. We're storing IDs in the active list, so we can pull every mention (after a since_id) from twitter, and compare against what's already there to keep from inserting dupes. Obvs some waste there, but we'll be paid in smiles.
