Gnip is known as an early influencer in building the real-time web. The company has also been instrumental in defining relevant web standards: Gnip's co-founder Eric Marcoullier actively advocated for adoption of open web standards, and helped define the new Activity Streams format for web data.
Subsequent to a 2010 data licensing agreement with Twitter Inc, Twitter purchased Gnip in April 2014.
