> Real-time breakings news Nope, they fucked up that too recently. tptacek: Yeah, it still kind of works but not the way it used to. I've noticed that in the past year or so they started to heavily filter their "public firehose"; before I was used to see 100s of new tweets per second around a major event (which was fantastic), while now I only get a few of them. The thing is that when the event it's not that big (i.e. a local event in your neighborhood) that filter makes you lose some pretty valuable info.
