Backup your Tweets with TweetBackup

TweetBackup is a free backup service that allows you to backup you Twitter tweets.

This type of service is very useful if you know you have tweeted some greats links sometime previously but can’t remember what they were.

The only thing that the folk at TweetBackup require you to do is follow them (@tweetbackup) on Twitter.. if you don’t they will delete your account.

To get started you will first need to signup using your Twitter account,

Enter your Twitter username and password and click on <Allow>,

Enter your email address then click <Sign Up!>,

Now that you have signed up you need to login using your Twitter account,

Enter your Twitter username and password and click on <Allow>,

From the Main Page tab on the dashboard you can easily add another Twitter profile (if you have more than one account), by clicking on the <Add Profile> button,

Enter the Twitter userid that you want to add then click <Add!>,

This newly added profile has just been added to your dashboard,

To download a backup of your tweets click on the Export tab.. then click on the filetype of the profile whose tweets you wish to  download,

You have just exported your tweets!

Presently there are only up to 3200 posts archived which is due to this Twitter bug (taken from the TweetBackup FAQ).

That’s all it takes to backup your Twitter tweets!

Very simple and very quick.. especially useful if you need to get your hands on that tweet that you know you sent, but just can’t remember what exactly it was.
