BackupMyTweets is a "teaser" site that Twitter users can use to create an archive of their tweets. Twitter itself stops archiving tweets once you reach 3,200, (so most of us don't have to worry too much just yet).

Potentially of more interest on the site however are the other pay for services offered by BackupMy in the BackupMyBlog and BackupMyPics options. For those with extensive blogs and/or Flickr accounts and the like, the $19.95 per year back up service may be money well spent if only for peace of mind.

One of those lists, this time of educators who are on Twitter. Quite a pot pourri the list is heavily US centric. To assist in making a decision to follow there is a brief bio attached to each name though according to the author of the list there are only five K-12 teachers on the list. The list also features some education related organisations. Worth a quick look at least.

Have you experienced Twitspeak overload? Do you break out into a sweat as the Twit character count goes into the final countdown phase?

This highly amusing look at the world of Web 2.0 as viewed through the INTERNET-AGE WRITING SYLLABUS AND COURSE OVERVIEW is a salutary reminder to those of us who have latently become besotted by the wonders of social networking that "All that Twitters is not told".

As Mr McSweeney suggests the course is the perfect antidote to those who are worried what to do;

Ever noticed that folk using Twitter seem to fit into patterns according to what they share? Have you found that over time you begin to review your incoming twitter stream according to some sort of inbuilt filter that you devise according to this pattern? The Innovation Diaries has pondered on this and the needs that folk bring to their Tweeps. Relating this to the work of Abraham Maslow the diaries have come up with a Hierarchy of Tweets. Not only informative but quite amusing it is interesting to try to place ones self in the hierarchy and even more so your twitter friends :).
