"Have you ever sent out a “tweet” on the popular Twitter social media service? Congratulations: Your 140 characters or less will now be housed in the Library of Congress.

That’s right. Every public tweet, ever, since Twitter’s inception in March 2006, will be archived digitally at the Library of Congress. That’s a LOT of tweets, by the way: Twitter processes more than 50 million tweets every day, with the total numbering in the billions.

I heard about this years ago, thought it's a bad idea then, and still a bad idea now. But now generations to come will know what everyone had for breakfast for the last five years.

I hide all my sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, agoraphobic, hobophobic, and misogynistic and mystic tweets, only to have them automatically reposted on facespace, for all 720 of my friends and random adds to enjoy.

i use twitter for spontaneous vulgarity and don't 'officially' associate it with my name (on linked-in, facebook or anything)

facebook is kinda fading away for me since im friends w/ so many people's moms, relatives, etc

*knock knock knock*

Citizen: Who is it?

Agent: Yes, ma'am, I am with the Federal Government. After extensive review of your tweets, we were directed to conduct an investigation into a tweet you posted to your account in January of 2007 when you stated, " I fear my personal freedoms might be eroding in this country." What exactly did you mean by that?

Citizen: Well I...

Agent: Please come with us.

YOU IN DA MESSIAH'S HOUSE NOW BITCHES
