For example, I wonder how much this would differ for the tweets from Ireland, rather than the ones that mention Ireland. Another interesting thing would be to see the delta frequency between one day ago, one months ago, one year ago etc.. I imagine they are trying to limit the amount of caching they have to do in the back end but I think that through some random sampling methods they should be able to get a fairly representative dataset over a longer period of time / volume.
