Why are we adding this line

```def get_post(self): return Post.select().where(Post.user == self)

def get_stream(self):
    return Post.select().where( (Post.user = self)  )

Post.select -> choose all the posts... where -> where Post.user = self -> the person who posted them was "me" (or the person using the service)

It's generating the posts/tweets that would be found on that user's profile page.

For example, it would be all the tweets on my Twitter page. Not where I look at what other people I follow have posted, the stuff that I have posted.

Hope that helps!
