yes i was using twist as i saw it on TechCrunch. I got to 200 out of 1220 tweets regarding my topic, where it said something like unable to show more then 200.

I assumed this is due to Twitter's API? If that is not the case can you code it to show all results on a topic from day one?

Though Im not sure what VCs or angels will think when I present my data being from Twitter. But to me its a cheap and solid way of gleaming demographics on topics; albeit the demographic is skewed for now.

Thanks for the feedback. The 200 limit is ours, we could (and should) increase it. We don't have all the results from day one (we'd have to ask Twitter for the full archive), but we could easily display up to 1000 results without a significant performance hit.
