Would any researchers be interested in getting a full day's worth of tweet ids that they can rehydrate to get a data on what a day in the life of Twitter looks like?
In order to abide by Twitter's TOS, this would have to be for research purposes. I would only be able to provide

you with tweet ids and Python code to help you rehydrate the tweet ids (with a developer account). You would need to be one of these:
a) An active member of an academic institution
b) An active member of a non-profit research group
c) Use the data for research purposes only

The data cannot be used for any for-profit activities and any data you rehydrate cannot be shared with others outside of your research group / organization.

Yes! Even if not re-hydrating all of them, it may be a great way to sample and build a benchmark of what a random tweet (and tweeter) look like.

Ok, I will create a dump for a day in October and I should have the dump available in a day or two.

Keep in mind that with a tweet id, you can still get the time that the tweet was made -- so just from tweet ids, you can graph the activity of Twitter for a day using just tweet ids (I can share the formula on how to do that).

To get the time in epoch milliseconds of when a tweet id was created, you can use this formula:
(tweet_id >> 22) + 1288834974657
