Using the HTML5 Database to store tweets
- Safari and Chrome both support HTML5 Web SQL Databases
- Safari will allow the Database to grow by asking the user for more space (if needed).
- Chrome seems to have a rather small storage limit
- Performance is improved when accessing the timeline of a user since it can be accessed from the database (no server access)
- Searching the tweets in the database is very fast but neither browser seems to support full text searches
- In testing it has been handy to have access to older tweets
