So when twitter changes an API, or is down, and someone happens upon your page they can still see what you intended to include.
Also if you're documenting something like John Smith said "Kill all Muppets, they're taking human jobs" and his publicist goes "John, you really need to delete that tweet" and he does, you can show a screenshot of it to prevent revisionist history.
- icebraining 7y agoWe're not talking about using the API, but whether to prefer copying the tweet as a screenshot+text or just the text.
- eru 7y agoYes. And you could even quote the page with all the twitter styling. Ie quote the HTML and CSS instead of just the tweet, if you really want that twitter look and feel.
