check your facts by reaching out to Twitter directly.

I'm Jud Valeski, CEO of Gnip (jud@gnip.com). So we're all running on factual data, apparently a problem these days,...

Twitter's value added resellers (e.g. Gnip and DataSift) must... - sell filtered data at no less than $0.10/1k Tweets consumed. Gnip makes this price explicit, whereas DS, apparently (I can't fully tell so check w/ them directly) rolls that number into their costs, making it opaque.

- sell only to firms who will not display the Tweets in "public".

- sell only to firms who will not programmatically re-syndicate the raw Tweets further downstream.
