the continual crawl toward “now time” is fun to witness.

Twitter’s raw utc timestamp is 18:41:32 – we finished processing at 18:42:51 – our server was processing (and attempting to speak) a sudden flood – 4 tweets per second – so we were a bit slow.

The truth might be somewhere between :) otoh, we may not have recorded the actual first tweet…
