I had the misfortune of doing my final year computing dissertation using Twitter's streaming API.

I had many late nights trying to debug similar problems. One particular problem I never solved was using the language/location information to help filter out invalid tweets in non English tweets.

I used C# to do the processing and eventually gave up trying to cast the JSON from their API to static types and used C#'s dynamic keyword as their documentation was so poorly written and didn't include decent examples.

Fond memories.
