tweet stream options

Streams tweets to the console, optionally as json.

tweet stream twitter

tweet stream twitter --json

Warning The latter option dumps a lot of json in your console. Make sure your console is able to keep up, or (preferably) pipe to another utility. The latter is actually the use case this option is designed for.
