10 Ways to Archive Your Tweets

  • Did you know that your tweets have an expiration date on them? While they never really disappear from your own Twitter stream, they become unsearchable in only a matter of days. <script type="text/javascript">
    tweetmeme_url = 'http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/10_ways_to_archive_your_tweets.php';
    tweetmeme_source = 'rww';
    </script><script src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js" type="text/javascript"></script>    At first, Twitter held onto your tweets for around a month, but as the service grew more popular, this "date limit" has dramatically shortened. According to Twitter's search documentation, the current date limit on the search index is "around 1.5 weeks but is dynamic and subject to shrink as the number of tweets per day continues to grow."

Delicious Freshens Up With Twitter. Founder Hates It.

  • One problem I see with this Fresh Bookmarks area is that the tweets it uses in its equation, often don’t have anything to do with the content being linked to. Yahoo did this on purpose, noting that some 81% of tweets don’t contain URLs, and they still wanted to use data from the most amount of tweets to populate this area. So instead they use keywords in tweets, but this often results in tweets populated below the shared content that have absolutely nothing to do with it.
  • And the search aspect of Delcious has been completely revamped as well, making it easier for power users to dig through things they’ve bookmarked in the past. The new search area also features rich content, so if someone shares a YouTube video, you can play it inline. The same is true with Flickr images.

The New Failwhale: Twitter Homepage — GIANT ROBOTS SMASHING INTO OTHER GIANT ROBOTS

  • I've been asking around for thoughts and opinions about the redesign and while everyone seems generally pleased that it was redesigned, most also feel that it really lacks that certain something. This post is going to try and figure out what that something is, and how the redesign could be further improved.
