"Twitter CEO says the company is working on an export tool that will compile all the tweets that a user has logged on the network"
Twitter is working on a tool that allows users to export each Tuite has been done on the site, said the chief executive, Dick Costolo, the American newspaper The New York Times .
But why would anyone want all of your tweets - possibly going back to all stories published since 2006, when Twitter was first released?
Facebook now allows users to download a "personnel file" which includes a list of all messages you have sent to someone, a list of every friend you have on the network, copies of any photos or videos you've sent site and more. I recently looked for my file and was surprised at the amount of data shared - a package of 46 MB of files and folders - and look what I consider a user is not so active.
Now imagine the data of 140 million users of Twitter, which are firing 140-character tweets throughout the day - every day - or about his personal life or about his thoughts about current news and repercussions they have.
In fact, Twitter has become a major news feed and real-time communication tool. Consider as examples only a few events that accounted for the most popular ' tweets per second '(TPS) last year: a half-hour show of Madonna's Super Bowl (10,245 TPS), the Tim Tebow touchdown during a playoff in American Football Conference (American Football Conference in free translation) on January 8 (TPS 9420) and the death of Steve Jobs (6049 TPS).
So the idea of a person being able to see perhaps tens of thousands of his thoughts over time, all in one place, is quite convincing. For some people this would act as a virtual diary and journal information - all in one place.
Currently the Twitter only gives users access to a number of tweets and Costolo did not say when the company will launch the export tool in which people are working. Meanwhile, recover old posts is important to you, try SocialSafe.net , which backs up social networks, or CloudMagic , which is a lightning fast way to search for things Exchange, Twitter, Gmail, Google Apps , Chat, Docs, Calendar and Contacts.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the tool that Twitter is developing is only to users of the tweets themselves, not to "dig" the entire network. "They are two separate problems of engineering search," the Times said Costolo. "It's a different way of architecting the research, going through all the tweets of all time. You can not just put three engineers working on it."
