Twitter Archive
- In the past it has been very difficult, if not impossible, to go back more than just a few days to view your past Tweets.
- Twitter now allows you to request an archive of all of your tweets. The button to "REQUEST YOUR ARCHIVE" is at the bottom of your account settings.
- Soon after, you will receive an email with a link to download a compressed (zipped) folder containing all your tweets.
- The unzipped download produces a folder that provides a web interface to easily view your "historic" tweets.
- Here's my archive (as of early AM, April 25th, 2013).
- In that folder, there is an item called "tweets.csv". This is a comma-separated file that can be imported into Excel, Number, or Filemaker if you were interested in doing other manipulation/analysis (prehaps word frequency in tweets, years or days of the week you tweeted more/less, etc.).
