Is it possible to refresh feed in the background?

I have Chirp (previously the Twitter Mac client) open on the desktop but it is rarely in focus unless I see something scroll past that looks interesting. With Chirp the feed doesn't update unless the window is focused (and maybe some other rules apply too). What's the technical reason as to why it can't update the feed while not in focus? If it's fixable I'd be happy to try and work on it.

@aforty it should be fixable, though i'm not 100% certain .. but i bet you could at least create some hacks that trick the window into thinking it's always focussed. Alternatively you could try by setting the scroll able container to the top at an interval
