We currently have all of the partners we need for testing. The section of text applicable to our post-testing process is pasted from the FAQ [1] below.
Once we're confident in the stability of the service, we'll add partners on a case-by-case basis. We *may* allow a wider selection of clients to consume subsets of the public stream (that is, updates from a collection of user IDs or matching specific search terms). We *do not* intend to allow anonymous, unregulated public access to this stream for any number of legal, financial, and technical reasons. We do not intend to share the TOS used by test partners at this time. 1. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/FAQ#Whenwillthefirehosebeready Thanks, Doug -- Doug Williams Twitter Platform Support http://twitter.com/dougw On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 3:46 PM, Ken Sheppardson <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm just reading > http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation#firehose > > So is the firehose live? > > I see that this is "available only to approved parties, and requires a > signed agreement to access." > > Are the approval guidelines/criteria and text of the agreement > available for review? > > -Ken > > > On Mar 10, 3:56 pm, Doug Williams <[email protected]> wrote: > > Sylvain, > > I've updated the FAQ to reflect the deadline slippage: > > > > We thought the "firehose" (the near-realtime stream of all public > > status updates on Twitter) would be shipped by February 2009, but the > > deadline has slipped a bit.
