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)
According to Twitturly, due to recent changes to Twitter’s API, Twitturly is slowly dying. There’s a plea on their status page for Twitturly users to contact the poeple that can help fix this, namely: Evan Williams, Biz Stone, Alex Payne, Evan Weaver.
The graphic below shows how the number of Tweets Twitturly processes in a day has dropped dramatically since the API changes.
For those of you that haven’t heard of Twitturly, here’s their blurb:
