+summary: Subscribe to Twitter search queries over pubsub
+...
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Twitter has an open 'realtime' search API, but it requires polling
+(within their rate limits). This module allows Prosody to poll for you,
+and push new results to subscribers over XMPP.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+This module must be loaded on a Prosody pubsub component. Add it to
+`modules_enabled` and configure like so:
+
+    Component "pubsub.example.com" "pubsub"
+    modules_enabled = { "pubsub_twitter" }
+
+    twitter_searches = {
+      realtime = "xmpp OR realtime";
+      prosody = "prosody xmpp";
+    }
+
+This example creates two nodes, 'realtime' and 'prosody' that clients
+can subscribe to using
+[XEP-0060](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html). Results are in
+[ATOM 1.0 format](http://atomenabled.org/) for easy consumption.
+
+  Option                    Description
+  ------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  twitter\_searches         A list of virtual nodes to create and their associated Twitter search queries.
+  twitter\_pull\_interval   Number of minutes between polling for new results (default 20)
+  twitter\_search\_url      URL of the JSON search API, default: "http://search.twitter.com/search.json"
