Build a scalable Twitter clone with Django and GetStream.io

In this tutorial we are going to build a Twitter clone using Django and GetStream.io, a hosted API for newsfeed development. We will show you how easy is to power your newsfeeds with GetStream.io. At the end of this tutorial we will have a Django app with a profile feed, a timeline feed, support for following users, hashtags and mentions.

I assume that you are familiar with Django. If you're new to Django the [official tutorial] (https://docs.Djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/install/) explains it very well.
