DabbleDB isn't an obviously fit with twitter. Was the acquisition primarily for the talent?

Dabble may not be the perfect fit, but Trendly was a much better one.

iirc, this was a talent acquisition meant to focus on analytics.

Indeed. From the Twitter blog, "They have joined our analytics team and will focus on integrating ideas from Trendly into our current tools and building innovative realtime products for our future commercial partners."
