Is there a way to permalink to a specific location/magnification?
not yet, but good remark. I will use history API to update the URL
That would be great! Thanks.

#32That's one big data. Do you have firehose access?
What do you mean? We just display data from twitter stream. You can use their stream if you want to
There's two different HTTP Streaming endpoint for Twitter's stream
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/sample
Returns a small random sample of all public statuses. The Tweets returned by the default access level are the same, so if two different clients connect to this endpoint, they will see the same Tweets
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/firehose
Returns all public statuses. Few applications require this level of access. Creative use of a combination of other resources and various access levels can satisfy nearly every application use case.

#33Maybe other people does not appreciate your work, but my girlfriend (who study marketing) and me have gained some insight about Twitter users and countries with Internet access [1] . Great work and thank you! [1] I know this last is arguable: In some countries, Twitter is not the main microblogging service.
You might want to take a look at this for a view on Twitter Demographics:

and this for how one might be able to do "serious" predictions using Twitter as a proxy:

#34I would love to watch this during some sort of global event, whatever the context. Maybe I'll remember to visit it on Election Day.
