New from Google: Searchable Timeline of Twitter Tweets (aka Google Replay)
It was just the other day when we mentioned the value of Twapper Keeper to archive tweets by hashtag, @name, or keyword. We still believe the TK service (it remains free) is very valuable.
Without a decent archive, tweets used to disappear from public view within a couple of weeks.
Today, Google got into the Twitter archive game so now be extra extra careful what you tweet. (-:
Using the well-known Google timeline technology used elsewhere at Google (e.g. Google News Archive),
For the time being it apparently works for tweets posted from February, 2010 forward. However, it will soon be available for all tweets, from March, 2006 when Twitter first launched.
Search by keyword or phrase. Time period can also be used (Day, Hour, Second). Results include the timeline at the top of the page. When users Interact with timeline and change hours, minutes, dates, results change.
Cool! We would like to know if this will be a Google exclusive or if other sites both big (Bing) and some of the smaller Twitter search sites (especially those with firehose access) will be able to offer archive databases?
Update: LC is also getting a copy of the Twitter archive. Info is found one post above this one.
Follow Finder analyzes public social graph information (following and follower lists) on Twitter to find people you might want to follow (aka your Tweeps).
