The Library of Congress – which boasts millions of books, recordings, photographs, maps and manuscripts in its collections –announced last year (via Twitter) that is has acquired all public tweets in the Twitter archive.
Every single public tweet, dating back to the very first missive posted on March 21, 2006, will now be housed in the government’s Library of Congress. Plus, Google is making the Twitter archive searchable.
Amazing / scary.
I am now going to tweet “This tweet will be stored in the Library of Congress..So if your in the library reading this now..HELLO!”
