Back up your followers with Tweetake!

May 3, 2011 By 1 Comment

Many moons ago in 2008 I teamed up with @alfaguru to develop a system that allowed you to back up your Twitter followers, friends messages and DMs – we called it Tweetake.

Because both of us have real, paying work to do, we’ve not promoted it as much as we should, so it’s always lovely to see that many people use it every day.

Every few days someone drops me a line and says nice things about it, and occasionally people even donate towards future development which is nice.

But I didn’t imagine anyone would write a blog post about it!

Many suspended Twitter accounts weren’t backed up

July 6, 2009 By 4 Comments

My inbox was full of frantic emails today from people on the Tweetmentor course who had suddenly found that their accounts were suspended.

The Twitter status blog says:

Earlier today, we accidentally suspended a number of accounts.

We regret the human error that led to these mistaken suspensions and we are working to restore the affected accounts—we expect this to be completed in the next several hours.

So hopefully things will be back to normal soon.

But interestingly, out of the emails I received, about 60% were from poeple frantic that they would lose all of their contacts, and have to start from scratch again, as they hadn’t backed up their followers.

As one of the partners in Tweetake, we love to see people promoting our service – but I have to say that the cartoon accompanying a post I found today really made me smile:

If you use Twitter for business, then it could be important to you to be able to backup your followers if, for whatever reason, they were lost.

I know I wouldn’t like to fall off the edge of the Twitterverse and have the people following me wondering where I had got to.

Play it safe – back up at Tweetake :)

Backup your Twitter followers with Tweetake!

August 10, 2008 By 3 Comments

The brainchild of Alfred Armstrong and Nikki Pilkington, Tweetake is here to allow you to back-up your followers, people you are following and Tweets with just one click.

Why bother to do this? Many 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)
