Does the Twitter API support keep alive connections so we can send
more than a request per connection?

Thks,

Abraham is correct.

Keep-alives are disabled because of the sheer number of requests that
the servers must handle. Keeping any connections open longer than
necessary is detrimental to performance.

Thanks,
