TwitterSafe
TwitterSafe is your one-click backup and restoration vault for Twitter. According to the site’s Why Us page:
Filed under Backup |Once upon a time, not so long ago, we were just a bunch of helpless little Twits. Working hard to build relationships in the Twitterverse… when one day it happened… ‘Black Tweetsday’ the day Twitter commited ‘Mass Twiticide’… the day we had our ‘Tweeters’ chopped off! Oh the horror! Oh the Pain!
We were lucky little Twit’s however… and as we Tweeted loudly and in masses, the T- Bots & Twitter Gods restored peace in Twitterville. The followers and the following were all returned to the natural order of the Twitterverse, and all of us little Twits went back to our Tweeting and Twittering away.
So hard we worked to build our Following and so helpless we felt, and although we have had our Followers Restored…our faith in the system has waivered, and a thought will always lurk, a doubt, and a fear, in the back of our Twittering little minds. The question, can it happen again? Will it happen again? What can we do to prevent such a collapse in our Utopic little Twitciety again?
Tweetake
Tweetake, a service that is the brainchild of Alfred Armstrong and Nikki Pilkington, allows you to back-up your followers, people you are following and your tweets with just one click. Why bother to do this? The site provides these reasons:
- Twitter may lose followers again like it did in June / July
- You may change your Twitter name and want to re-follow the people you were following, and contact the people who were following you
- You may want to refer to a Tweet that you sent more than 90 days ago (the longest twitter keeps Tweets for)
- You may just like backing things up, ‘just in case’
