We have terrific speakers:

It provides the full Twitter firehose in a way that can be mined, chopped up, analyzed, and mashed up with other realtime streams such as Klout, PeerIndex, Facebook, WordPress, and others. Datasift attracted prominent VC backers, including Mark Suster at GRP and Roger Ehrenberg at IA Ventures. Tad Martin, CEO, Collective[i] (http://www.collectivei.com) (New York).
