Re: [twitter-dev] Percent of total tweets in GardenHose Stream Access
The gardenhose is very very roughly 3x the default access level (aka Spritzer). The algorithm is slightly complicated, and the inputs vary, thus, vagueness. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc. On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 11:05 PM, M.

Assuming Twitter's published number of 50 million tweets per day is the full firehose (minus spam, according to the blog post), I've estimated that a typical weekday on sample is delivering over 3 percent of the total tweet volume.
