An "open data project" that stores all of its data on Twitter? Not that Twitter's in the right here, but this seems like a bad move...

I don't think they store all their data on twitter. If they did, they probably wouldn't have this file in their repo: https://github.com/edent/openbenches/blob/master/database/da...

We don't. We syndicate to Twitter. That's where we get the most new users.

All the data is on openbenches.org and GitHub.
