    touché, but my comment was precipitated not by any particular practicalities but by the article's text: "Sites hosted by corporations tend to die with their hosts.... Twitter is a rare case: it has arranged to archive all of its tweets at the Library of Congress."

      That was the intent, but I think it ended up being too big for the lack of budget.

    StackExchange uploads anonymized data dumps to the Internet Archive annually: https://archive.org/details/stackexchange https://archive.org/details/stackexchange To the sibling comment -- as far as I know, no one's ever seen those tweets. You can get content back out of the Archive, at least.
