You have several "streams" of tweets. Pretend that these streams work in a similar way to common data structures, with the ability to pull the latest tweet etc. but with an indefinite number of objects. Come up with an algorithm to sort these rapidly updating tweets into one combined stream based on a timestamp that comes with each object (assume Unix timestamp, for instance).

Basic programming, objected oriented, and language specific questions about a programming language of your choice. I choose Java. Not difficult at all. The tough part was the software group manager interview, which was sort of technical and sort of not. More background/interest-based than anything. My interviewer was very perceptive and practical, so answer all his questions clearly and honestly.
