isn't there already a free stream for new tweets that could be stored and analyzed? is this just a sale of the 50% of tweets that have already passed? why so pricey for historical market research data when current data is free?
- wmf 16y agoThat hasn't been free for a while.
- Timothee 16y agoFrom my understanding, the current data is not free. Yes, it's fully accessible, but to get access to the whole thing you would need to either scrape the site which Twitter will most likely disallow, or use the API, whose access Twitter controls.
