My understanding is the primary difference is that data from Datasift is not for display (analysis only), which, if accurate, would only work for a small set of companies currently accessing the data.
- sinak 16y agoI'm not sure if that's true. Many of their use case examples seem to display the data from user's streams, meaning that it's not just analysis.
- doug_williams 16y agoHi -- The license the consumer receives is strictly for non-display use cases, meaning you are not able to go to Gnip or DataSift to license Twitter content to display to end users. We (Twitter) still maintain a robust set of APIs for display use cases which we will license directly to partners for display products. Thanks, Doug
