re: Approximate YouTube TV delay vs. in-person sporting event?

I ask, because watching an LSU game, I often follow Twitter live feeds as well and have noticed that Twitter can be faster than Dish Network and I don't like knowing what happens before I see the play (I know, don't follow Twitter --- and real problems).

Can you elaborate on this process a little. I ask because I hear people complain about this every now and then and I might be interested in trying my hand at creating a solution to this for the masses if possible using Twitter's API (waiting on API approval) as I am looking for a new project. I don't really use Twitter, but is what you are doing just monitoring a hashtag/specific users post in you feed or their live video? What's this look like for the user? Are you watching the game phone in hand and your feed auto updates new tweets? Are you watching someones video on Twitter commenting on the game? How would someone who uses Twitter while watching a live event like this to work? The way I'm picturing it is you set your tweet preferences (users and/or hashtags), your desired delay and a "live" (delayed) feed populates tweets.

Yeah man, I looked around too and was surprised there is nothing out there for this other than someone talking about making something similar back in ~2012. I got my API keys so I'll probably start messing with it in Node.js after the weekend.
