Thanks! The tweets are indexed in real-time but the writes to DB and rendering of pages are cached, and not updated frequently. There is a net lag of about an hour or so before the updated results are visible. On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 1:09 AM, M. Edward (Ed) Borasky wrote: > That is *really* nic

I'd suggest calculating the binomial proportion confidence interval assuming a very large n. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the interval given n = 2.5mm/day on the Spritzer feed... Well, you learn something new every day. Apparently the central limit theorem apparently holds for p as sm

What I meant was that searching with "source:clientName" requires atleast one keyword to be specified. Which means that you can't get all those tweets which don't have that keyword. Moreover, searching for common english words like "a", "an", or "the" (often) doesn't return any results. The idea

Search is filtered for relevance, especially on large result sets. Streaming returns complete result sets, except for rate limits. There's no predicate for searching on source in the Streaming API -- Perhaps you could take the sample feed and extrapolate? This should give you a very accurate propor
