> For example, I can see tweet reach, link click data - It does not show tweet reach - Link click data isnt very helpful if you dont use your own shortened urls. Can you name a few companies which will go out of business because of this? Instead, those startups might be bought by twitter to boost their offering, similar to how they bought GNIP

Companies on this[1] or this[2] list. A lot of what these companies provide (I worked at one) is merely a way to gain insight into your social media profile. Twitter Analytics is an extremely good implementation of this service for free. Twitter also gives you the CSV to mine your own data allowing an individual or company to make correlations that Twitter might not necessarily be able to make. You're right, Twitter may buy some of those companies but to me, that's still out of business.

  > Twitter may buy some of those companies but to me, that's still out of business Point taken. But, some companies are built with a goal to get acquired. I would define out of business (and get acquired) as those companies who arent able to sell/continue traction, and get 'acqui-hired' for talent and relevancy of what they built, not exactly to integrate their product offering.

    Yeah, I totally agree. Investor motivations also play a part in what you're saying. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the list of approved twitter parters could shrink once customers figure out that you can get very good Twitter analytics for free.
