How to Back Up Your Tweets from Twitter
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed
f you follow me on Twitter, I’ll follow you back. If you’re not on Twitter, what the heck are you waiting for? Did you know you can even export all of your Tweets to save them for posterity? Twistory is very simple to use, and will back up your Tweets into any one of a variety of sources.
Add your Twitter backlog feed to your favorite calendar application and browse through your personal Twitter diary, making your Twitter history both fun and useful! Subscribe to messages from any Twitter user in any popular desktop or online calendaring application (iCal, Google Calendar, etc.). Those messages are then automatically added to the calendar, at the appropriate day and time.
Just think about this: let’s say you’re like me. I’ve Tweeted 6800 times. If I wanted to get back to those Tweets at some point, there’s no easy way to do that. There’s no way to have an archive of what I’ve said, and when. Wouldn’t you appreciate having a way to get back to those if you wanted or needed to at some point?
Database and website crashes happen. Sites like MySpace, Facebook – even YouTube – may not be around in five years. Heck, even Twitter may be gone by then. I know I’d like to keep a mashup of everything I said onto Twitter. Using Twistory is very simple, and takes virutally no time at all. Now I have a great backup to use, and will keep it updated regularly.
If the President of the United States is using Twitter – why aren’t you?
