    Library of Congress to archive public Twitter tweets #wtf

    Story from the Associated Press here!

    Yes, seriously. No lie. Every public tweet. Even the ones I wrote about how sexy certain actors were or my favorite type of dessert sandwich.

    What crazy-ass things you tweeted are becoming part of history, Get Lazy?

    :foil: ...and cue the conspiracy theories, everyone. Twitter's due to make a blog post about this soon, so you might want to look out for that too. Alternatively, delete ****ing everything while you still can.

    ...btw I tweet @ZokiBlue very sporadically. That waste of space is going to be archived for future anthropologists to study. I can't believe it.
    I seriously need a new sig. Will try Photoshop later.

    I think it's cool, but then again I am a digital pack rat who likes to archive everything, regardless of usefulness.

    It's not like this will require extensive resources. Archiving all of Twitter will take what, one 2 TB hard drive that can be had for $100 at the most?

    A bunch of plain text 140 character messages doesn't take up shit.

        I can't imagine why though..
        Is it for evidence against those idiots who say they're going to assassinate the president and all on twitter?
        Let me see if I can dig up a story....ah here we are

          You just gotta love partyfags.

          I'm sure this guy is a liberalfag

          When I hear the Republicans talk, the only thing I see are a group...
          Oh like they didn't do the same thing when Bush was in office. Lol. Party drones.

              I was reading the comments on that link

              Let me put it simply then.

              Democrat in office - Republican party and the majority of the constituents cry
              Republican in office- Democrat party and the majority of the constituents cry

              If an independent ever gets elected, god help him he'll have both parties to deal with.

              The whole party thing just pisses me off. You're lucking I'm just tacking on the -fag.

                boredjedi you have incredibly obnoxious political posts that throw out random, vague apathetic rage

                you appear to be whining about america's status as a two-party corporate state which everyone is already thoroughly aware of

                  I've been pretty obnoxious overall in case you haven't noticed.
                  I've just recently quit smoking so that might have something to do with it. God I need a cigarette.

                      I feel sorry for submarine crews. If you haven't heard, smoking was just banned completely on them subs. God help them.

                        -fag's just another web culture thing, though. Not one I use, but...yeah. Clearly I've been reading too much ED.

                        Anyway, I'm more amused by the future cultural study aspect of this than anything else. Someday, college students will be taking a course titled 'Internet Culture of the Early 21st Century' and there will be an exam and a half worth of material on 4chan.
                        I seriously need a new sig. Will try Photoshop later.

                          Joined Twitter. I want in. Maybe someone will think I'm worth reading about someday, though it's highly unlikely.
