I don't know what possessed me to learn Twitter's API rules inside and out in the service of a search engine dedicated to tracking and analyzing the number of people using the service to publicly talk about... pooping.

Every 24 hours, about 3,500 tweets are sent out, each referencing someone's most recent release. For reference, that's generally more than Twitter users talk about:

• Iraq (As of 7/24, 12:19 PM EST, 2109 tweets)
• Oprah (As of 7/24, 12:20 PM EST, 2308 tweets)
