Why does the number of tweets vary from 24/7tweetview and its competitors?
The number of tweets varies in 24/7tweetview because we use keywords to gather data, unlike the portals that make use of your username to provide you with the data. Further, the keyword searches are filtered out to provide accurate and meaningful data. Tweets are filtered based on your country of operation and tweets that are not in English. Time line Constraints, that occur as we gather data from the Twitter search APIs may also cause a deviation in the numbers.
