development with these free APIs, available at
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api.
Is "Spritzer" still 1% of the Firehose? Since the status IDs are no
longer sequential, the previous "obvious" sampling algorithm - "status
ID mod 100 == 0" - no longer will work.

sure your server-side NTP software is kept up to date on security

better is possible.
Perhaps Gnip will be able to supply 99.9% or 99.99%. They've certainly
got the infrastructure, according to Pete Warden's writeup in RWW
(http://www.readwriteweb.com/hack/2010/11/why-is-twitter-partnering-with-gnip.php) I wouldn't bet on five nines, though.
#x27;m not sure how that's working
out in "Murdoch vs. Google", but at least it's been examined. ;-)
For that matter, some "news organizations" have imposed strict rules
on how and when they may "use" Twitter.

s. The sales cycle for social media monitoring tools
is long and arduous, and, IMHO, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube data are
immensely richer and easier for marketers to explore and exploit than
Twitter data.

I quite frankly don't see *any* economic value in a downsampled
Firehose. Why should *anyone* pay Gnip for 10% or 50% of the Firehose
when they can negotiated *directly* with Twitter for the whole Firehose?

going to
react to insertion of a monopoly middleman into their data source. I
briefly dealt with Gnip a while back and found their API hard to use
and their pricing exorbitant.

b. The various Twitter "ranking" services, like Twitalyzer and Klout.
They have lists and searchable databases of "high ranking" Twitter
users that collect most of these statistics automatically, and have
APIs you can subscribe to.

ave a list of
*users* that generate a representative sample of the tweets you wish
to analyze. The "Follow", "Shadow" or "Bird Dog" filters will let you
collect all of the tweets from a set of users. IIRC you can "follow"
at least 5000 users this way.

It doesn't use authentication, so it only gets 150 API calls per hour.

Excellent! You may have finally motivated me to learn PHP, MySQL,
Javascript and JQuery. ;-) Seriously, though, have you given any
thought to signing up with SUSE Studio and packaging this up as an
appliance?

Quoting Taylor Singletary :
Hi Developers,
We will end support for XML on all Streaming APIs on Dec 6th, 2
Quoting Tim Haines :
And it was given a medium priority in June. I wonder if Twitter can
schedule an API week now that Hack week is done.
T.
Speaking of which, is there a blog post coming from Twitter on what
came out of "Hack Week"?
