*OPLIN 4Cast #173: Archiving Twitter
*April 14, 2010


  /4casting technologies that could have an impact on public libraries./

The Library of Congress announced today that it will be archiving every 
tweet ever made 
<http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/04/library-of-congress-were-archiving-every-tweet-ever-made.ars>.*  
That's a mighty big claim!  Also today, Google got into the Twitter 
archive game 
<http://searchengineland.com/all-the-old-tweets-are-found-google-launches-twitter-archive-search-39962?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+searchengineland+%28Search+Engine+Land%29&utm_content=Google+Reader>, 
so be careful what you're tweeting.  It may come back and haunt you later!

If you'd rather archive on your own, here are some services to check out:

    * Twapper Keeper <http://twapperkeeper.com/index.php>
    * Twitter Tools: Archive Tweets in WordPress
      <http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-tools/>
    * Archiving Twitter in Outlook:  Twinbox
      <http://www.techhit.com/TwInbox/twitter_plugin_outlook.html>for
      your inbox or Twistory <http://twistory.net/> for use with your
      calendar (also works with Google calendar)
    * Evernote <http://blog.evernote.com/2009/04/14/evernote_twitter/>

*We tried to link directly to the LOC announcement, but the news has 
apparently brought the site down.
