Gnip Opens Up Entire Twitter Archive for First Time

Every tweet since 2006 now available to analytics firms

Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey sent the first tweet on March 21, 2006. While that tweet is freely available online, marketers and social analytics firms have been hard pressed in finding many tweets sent since 2006. While the Twitter analytics ecosystem has evolved over the years, it has centered around real-time monitoring—until now. Social data provider Gnip has opened up the entire Twitter archive. Gnip COO Chris Moody said the company is the first of any, including Twitter, to make the full tweet archive available.

Now “we can actually go back and understand at any moment in time [dating back to 2006] the conscious thought of the world,” Moody said.
