Examples::
-```python
+```python
from twitter import *
# see "Authentication" section below for tokens and keys
t.statuses.home_timeline()
# Get a particular friend's timeline
-t.statuses.friends_timeline(id="billybob")
-
-# Also supported (but totally weird)
-t.statuses.friends_timeline.billybob()
+t.statuses.user_timeline(screen_name="billybob")
# to pass in GET/POST parameters, such as `count`
t.statuses.home_timeline(count=5)
is blocking (True). When set to False, the iterator will
occasionally yield None when there is no available message.
+Per default the ``TwitterStream`` object uses
+[public streams](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis/streams/public).
+If you want to use one of the other
+[streaming APIs](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis), specify the URL
+manually:
+
+- [Public streams](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis/streams/public): stream.twitter.com
+- [User streams](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis/streams/user): userstream.twitter.com
+- [Site streams](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis/streams/site): sitestream.twitter.com
+
+Note that you require the proper
+[permissions](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/application-permission-model) to
+access these streams. E.g. for direct messages your
+[application](https://dev.twitter.com/apps) needs the "Read, Write & Direct
+Messages" permission.
+
+The following example demonstrates how to retreive all new direct messages
+from the user stream:
+
+```python
+auth = OAuth(
+ consumer_key='[your consumer key]',
+ consumer_secret='[your consumer secret]',
+ token='[your token]',
+ token_secret='[your token secret]'
+)
+twitter_userstream = TwitterStream(auth=auth, domain='userstream.twitter.com')
+for msg in twitter_userstream.user():
+ if 'direct_message' in msg:
+ print msg['direct_message']['text']
+```

is done. If you are making a command-line app, you can use the
oauth_dance() function directly.
-Performing the "oauth dance" gets you an ouath token and oauth secret
+Performing the "oauth dance" gets you an oauth token and oauth secret

later so that the user doesn't have to do the oauth dance again.
