Sometimes it helps just to test with something real. The Twitter importer lets you quickly test your new Crate instance with real data. Press the button, and watch your cluster quickly fill up in real time with live Tweets. You can always delete them later.

- Your imported tweets will be stored in a table called tweets.
- Click TABLES on the left to see the table and its stats. You should see its records increase as the tweets import.
- Click CONSOLE to query the table directly with SQL. For starters, you can try: `SELECT text FROM tweets LIMIT 100` after you have added some tweets.
