Onstage at the conference, Sarver pinged content from Twitter.com onto TweetDeck in real time. The API was made available to devs for a brief period during the conference, but any apps or features created around it were not shown to the general public.However, the company did open the API to two partners in July: TweetDeck and Echofon.

Originally, the open beta was slated for late August; still, wed be just as happy to see a smooth launch in September.Twitters roadmap for User Streams includes an at-scale launch in Q3 or Q4 of this year.What do you think of User Streams so far?
