I completely agree. I saved the link to a tweet from Biz Stone about an app i launched 2 years ago (twootball), but now it's gone.
Found it! Googled "biz stone twootball" http://twitter.com/biz/status/976238704
There are a lot more features read through the about page (e.g. filter via dates, languages, sort against date, query dependent trends, ...)
If I whisper the most beautiful poem over the telephone to my lover today, am I going to complain about the phone company not archiving that call properly when I want to revisit it 20 years from now? You go into Twitter knowing it's about the ebb and flow of current conversation, not about what was said when it first came out. If Twitter wants to eventually offer that, that's cool, but that's not the case right now,…
It would be very wise of Twitter to offer a bulk export function - not because they have to, but because it's to Twitter's benefit to not have me thinking twice about whether I should post to Twitter or communicate in some other, more archive-friendly way.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
$120/year is not worth it to me. $10/year would be. Just my feedback. :-)
You can run Tweetnest yourself http://pongsocket.com/tweetnest/ so that's free, here's mine: http://tweets.rythie.com/ for example. There are other solutions around if you look.
And it's worked without a hitch.
This is precisely why I built http://tweetsaver.com ... I wanted a nice way to search through ALL my old tweets AND keep them around. I'm always retweeting awesome content, favoriting interesting things, and sometimes I just want to remember what I said without having to click MORE MORE MORE MORE for 100 pages to find it on twitter.com. Maybe someday Twitter will turn on a feature that kills my app, but for now I thi…
How did you decide that price point? Are your operating costs very high?

1. Yes, Twitter's real-time just like the phone, but it's not only real-time like the phone. You can revisit any tweet you like. They support viewing old tweets, they support listing old tweets. My only concern is that they place limits on how much they list.
2. Yes, we're responsible for our content, but the significance of services change over time. Tomorrow's Hacker News startup might be interesting, you might drop some content in, but most people aren't going to immediately create an offsite backup. Likewise, the tweets we made in the first two years of Twitter's life probably seemed worthless to us at the time, but now their value has increased. It just would be nice to have access to that.
Didn't someone recently create a way to go back and see your first tweet?
Yes, but those types of services only work if you have less than 3,200 statuses, or, depending on the service, if your first tweet was published while their service was active and collecting your tweets (which isn't likely if your account is old).
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????
