Advice for Node.js and CouchDb Application Structure

I'm trying to build a simple web application using Node.js and CouchDb.

The application will store tweets from Twitter's Streaming API into a CouchDb database and then feed these back into a web application real time.

At the moment I have created a simple Node.js script which can store the tweets into a database and I can have this run in the background, however, I'm stuck on how to feed back the results to users.

Should I have this (the feeding of tweets to end users) sit in a separate script which also run in the background? Or should I bundle this up with my current script?, if so how would this look (pseudo)?

I'm new to Node.js so some guidelines on the best way to do this would be great!

Thanks in advance.

Couldn't the stream backwards be fed from COuchDB's continuous or triggered _changes notifications?

Regarding CouchDB's http api, I think it is not mandatory to put node.js between this, until node.js has other tasks like filtering or is acting as a security layer?
