It's a shame, for sure, for DataSift.
We have been working with DataSift for about a year now though and it is pretty damn clunky. I'd say GNIP is probably even worse at the moment but maybe not for long?
As a user, if GNIP can capitalize on being part of Twitter, I gladly welcome the improvements this could bring. I'm not super confident though as now Twitter/GNIP will also be a monopoly in the space with the usual disincentives that come along with that. Also, our use case is strongly biased towards the "historic query" features and neither service seems as interested in that as they are in the real time streaming features.
Also, I had considered earlier developing a niche competitor solely focused on the historics space for companies with research-oriented use cases like ours. I suspected Twitter would be dropping this hammer though so glad I didn't waste my time!
