How to learn about new followers in real time?

@huttarichard Hello! You did a good job, thank you for this NodeJS package.

I have a question for you.
How best to implement notification of a new follower? If someone follower me, I want to know about it and send him a message.

I found similar issues: #42, #50, #129.

I think there are three ways:

1. Check all "news inbox" on new followers every minute.
2. Connect to instagram WebSocket (wss://telegraph-ash.instagram.com/rt).
3. Connect to GCM.

How to make it better? If I have a lot of accounts, and to monitor them in real time.

This websocket feature sounds very interesting, but I'm not sure about lot of concurrent websocket connections from node if using multiple accounts. But if you want real realtime, that's an only option.
Can you please provide more info about this websocket connection. May be there's s way to subscribe to multiply data feed using one connection.

@IvanMMM I have no information about the WebSocket.
I has implemented this is the first option (сheck all "news inbox" on new followers every minute).
