The salient information: Well, it seems that Nasdaq slipped up here after Twitter furnished the exchange with earnings details ahead of time ready for official publication. ... Selerity then made sure that everyone knew about it through Twitter's own platform, but it did not break any rules in doing so as the results had already been published and were effectively in the public arena. "We inadvertently released an early version of their [Twitter's] earnings," Nasdaq said.

Does this open up NASDAQ to a potential lawsuit?

  The article didn't make the link between NASDAQ, NYSE, and Twitter clear. The quarterly report was posted on twitter's own website (investor.twitterinc.com). Twitter would have had to prepare the report, and post it there. Twitter is listed on the NYSE, not NASDAQ... Seems Twitter goofed more than anything...

    > The article didn't make the link between NASDAQ, NYSE, and Twitter clear. No, it did (well as far as NASDAQ and Twitter are concerned). Twitter was quoted as saying the following in the article: "Nasdaq hosts and manages our IR website, and we explicitly instructed them not to release our results until after the market close and only upon our specific instructions, which is consistent with prior quarters." So it sounds like NASDAQ released this early on one of Twitter's websites.

      Ah, I see that now. In that case, I'm sure NASDAQ's contract with Twitter indemnifies them from anything like this.

  This was my question as well; since the NASDAQ manage's Twitter's investor relations website and released these earnings I'd love to know what level of legal responsibility the NASDAQ would have to own up to if anything.
