You are probably listening to the sample stream, and THEN filtering. This means you listen to 1% of the twitter stream, and then looking for the tweet by Bloomberg, so there is a very good chance you don't see the particular tweet.
In order to get all Bloomberg related tweets, you must connect to twitter using the filter API and not the sample API: https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/reference/post/statuses/filter On Thu, Jul 23, 2015 at 8:23 PM, pjmccarthy <pmccar...@eatonvance.com> wrote: > Hopefully this is an easy one.
