Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter + Gnip Partnership
Right. usage of the API is completely under Twitter control and TOS. I understand that. And yes, all of this is new and subject to litigation. Not worth the headache unless a rug was pulled out under and existing established business and agreement, which is probably only a few companies if any and I'm sure Twitter is working with them.
