Backup your Twitter followers with Tweetake!

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)

The graphic below shows how the number of Tweets Twitturly processes in a day has dropped dramatically since the API changes.
