Title: Implemented exponential back-off for streaming API

Small change made to implement exponential backoff upon HTTP error in twitter streaming interface. Begin at default 10 seconds, doubles at each error, maxes at 240 seconds. Upon successful HTTP reception, timeout resets to original value, default 10 seconds.
