Hi wikiresearchers and apologies for the slight off-topic posting; 

I think some people on this list might be interested in knowing that we have just released a set of interactive tools and a free API to query a large historical sample from the Twitter stream (70 billion tweets, 2010-ongoing) [1]. 

We hope such a tool could be useful to researchers and the people (journalists, citizen scientists, etc). For example I'd love to see a mashup of the trends tool with the new pageview API!
