I've seen a few hints of the analytics product and know a fair number
of people who do that sort of thing for a living. I think they're
*not* obsessed with the past at all - their wet dream is very much
like what Wieden and Kennedy and a whole host of partners did this
summer in real time with Old Spice.
That's the future of Twitter / social media / advertising: teams of
creative, legal, copy writers, production and analytics people huddled
around control panels, analytics dashboards, video studios, phone
banks, etc. It's a bit like mission control for a shuttle launch -
only if something goes wrong do people look at the past. And mobile /
iPad / "places" is going to make it even more real-time.

Quoting Adam Green <140...@gmail.com>:
Yes, but advertisers and sales people are obsessed with the past, and
they provide the dollars that will make Twitter grow. We'll see where
this leads Twitter. I bet they follow the money. Google did, and it
worked out OK. :)

I can't really speak much on the topic of the analytics tool. I can say that
you'll find most everything in Twitter is focused on real-time -- whether
it's search results, the tweets available for a given user timeline, or the
general structure and emphasis presented by our UI. There's not much on
Twitter that allows one to dwell on the past.

Taylor, there has been much talk lately about the new Twitter
Analytics tool that would deliver historical data. Am I correct in
assuming that this is built on an internal API, and that this API will
be surfaced eventually for use by us developers?
