I don't know where in Europe you're currently based, but Datasift are in the UK and seem to be one of the hottest "social media analytics" companies out there.

I don't know where in Europe you're currently based, but Datasift are in the UK and seem to be one of the hottest "social media analytics" companies out there. Their staff seem fairly active on twitter itself, maybe give them a try [1]

- mittermayr 14y agochecking them out right now, thanks for the hint!
- ig1 14y agoAlso Peerindex.
- cjbenedikt 14y agothere is also an excellent start-up based in Portland, OR called luckysort. Good people, only the time difference from Europe sucks ;-)
- pja 14y agoYeah, I was about to suggest Datasift as well. IIRC I had a chat to some of them at the last SiliconMilkRoundabout & they seemed like they knew their stuff. It does occur to me that the OP is effectively trying to replicate large chunks of the twitter datastore & that's going to be very difficult to manage! It's not like twitter themselves were particularly reliably to start with after all.
- mittermayr 14y agoyeah, their data records are sometimes faulty and I need to scale down (even if it's not a time out) to 1 record per request to find the faulty in one hundred accounts. so that sucks. and regarding replicating, originally that's what I did. I had up to 20M of Twitter's 140M records cached almost - but that probably wasn't cool with them on the long run and i was unable to maintain a database with one table having multiple gigabytes of data.
