Part of that is an interface thing, but partly it's also a twitter API
thing.  Twitter's API gives you the most recent stuff on your first
request.  You can then request earlier "pages", and stop requesting
stuff when you get far enough back.  If memory serves (and perhaps I
should go back and reread their docs), there's no way to tell it to
start giving you stuff as of a certain date, or to give you stuff in the
reverse order.

So this would mean holding the items in RAM to sort and display.
Probably not a big deal, but could reduce response time a bit.

The other option is to pipe it through tac, I suppose.
