Using tweet deck on my laptop, or twitterfon when mobile, I often only look at the top few. Sometimes these are quite provocative until you realise they are part of a conversation that you haven’t followed completely and someone is being ironic – always dangerous in 140 characters.Is there an emerging ‘best’ practice here? Is it something we need to address in HEIs?

I know that Twitter's API is completely over-taxed, but I never imagined it could be this bad. Kudos to you and your team for coming up with a good system. Vladimir – Thanks to you.

We are putting a lot of hacks in place to make sure we get 99% of the data.Your finding on Google are more than interesting but I doubt it will stay this way ... knowing Google. They will probably improve the hell out their Twitter search asap.
