[twitter-dev] Questions about opening the firehose

2009-12-14 Thread M. Edward (Ed) Borasky
Last week at Le Web, Twitter's Platform Director, Ryan Sarver,
announced that Twitter will be opening the firehose to all
developers. As I recall, there were a number of reasons why Twitter
kept the firehose restricted. Some of these were legal reasons.

I'm starting to put together an action plan for 2010, and I'm really
curious - what has changed legally since then that would allow Twitter
to open the firehose to all developers? What legal agreements /
licenses / contracts must a developer commit to in order to gain
access to the firehose?

There will be further announcements about Streaming API access early next
year.
