How To: Backup Your Tweets and Make Them Searchable with Google Calendar


As I understand it, Twitter doesn't make more than your last 3000 tweets archived or searchable. But you can go store them going forward using Twistory and Google Calendar.



I had signed up for Twistory way back in late 2007 and added it to Google Calendar. However, I had forgotten all about it since I had that calendar hidden from the default view. I was delighted today when while tinkering that all of my tweets since have been archived! Here's how you can do the same for yours, at least going forward.



First, visit the Twistory site and enter in your Twitter username. Then you will be redirected to a page where you can subscribe to your tweet calendar in any one of a few different formats. 


Second, I would subscribe to it in Google Calendar. This will add all kinds of Googleness to your tweets, like search and exporting.


Finally, once your more recent tweets begin to populate in GCal they will all be archived going forward. You can browse them by date, or as you can see below, search them.


Very handy indeed.

re: storing tweets on a calender, if u do it for iCal it grabs all ur old ones too instead of just moving forward. Cool!!

Well. That looks like an organizational nightmare. However clever it may be.I'd chose the Tumblr route. Http://sigepjedi.com logging my @SIGEPJEDI Tweets, with a slight delay but archived none the less and searchable. 152 pages of my tweets since I started. Always comes in handy too!

This can also be used to follow "hand picked " twitter accounts of others too.Don't you this will be great way of filtering tweets?

I did this, and it worked fine for a couple of weeks, but once October started, it stopped! Plus, now when I visit Calendar, even the September back-ups aren't showing!

I love the idea, but Twistory stopped updating for me after a while… so I made my own tool using Yahoo Pipes. See: http://blog.earth2marsh.com/2009/10/your-tweets-in-calendar-in-two-clicks.html
