It works!
In less than 48 hours, the GNIP-enabled Power track for Twitter has pulled in more than a quarter million Tweets for the rule “Google”:
257, 284 to be precise, but that number changes faster than I can keep up with it. Along with the full firehose of Tweets, we also get some very nice metadata.
