One of the effects of developing Xspot with no server side infrastructure is that each mobile users is its own subscriber and publishers or in other words a worse scaling problem than twitter a s I am dynamically creating the timeline results html file for the user to view. while switching to usin g the UI CiUI library from the IUI UI library helps, its not of enough performance boost alone.

My answer is to make every mobile user a Gnip user and thus than I can use the Gnip api on the user behalf to dynamically handle the pub an sub actions of the user in interacting with the Xspot application. Thus, I reduce the perofmance hit to just pulling data and formatting that data.
