Thanks for the shout out for EventVue. One clarification — we don't even have to poll gnip to ask for new tweets, they actually POST the updates to us! As a developer, this is exactly what I want. None of our servers are wasting time with continual polling. We tried that before gnip came along and it was a miserable experience. Without gnip EventVue's twitter aggregation feature would be almost impossible for us to scale. I'd love to share that story. Look for a post on that soon.

Brad, thanks for writing this post – the information will come in very handy for something I'm working on and have been trying to figure out the best way to post things to a group twitter account. Josh is right; polling sucks and if Gnip will post to me instead, so much the better!

It was particularly cool to use EventVue's twitter functionality yesterday at TechStars' Investor Day…

What I particularly enjoyed hearing Josh talk about with this integration were the steps leading up to using Gnip. I'm looking forward to Josh's post on the topic. We discussed it, and it is the perfect illustration of what's broken with aggregating data today, and how Gnip slides right in to eliminate the issue altogether. Expect the blog post to read something like "we killed ourselves trying A, we killed ourselves trying B, killed… C… etc. we then spent a relatively tiny amount of time integrating Gnip's push, and went out for drinks" .

So fun to see our stuff in action. While we don't face consumers directly, when you witness the "powered by" moment in an end user app, it's always fun. I took a pic of one of the TechStars monitors that was streaming the real-time data, at the event yesterday: http://bit.ly/1XQTD0 .

Warhammer gold, as the currency in the Warhammer world, plays an important role in the economic system. The experience plays take in game kinda depends on how much Warhammer gold they have. To amateur players, they do not have much time to play the game, not even farming Warhammer online gold. So most of Warhammer players would like to purchase Warhammer gold.
