Library of Congress to Archive Every Tweet…Ever

April 14, 2010 by  
Filed under Features, News, Tech

Twitter and the Library of Congress announced today that every single tweet ever made, starting with the companies founding in 2006, will be digitally recorded and archived within the Library of Congress, alongside such notable and important works as the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of the Independence, and an original Gutenberg Bible, as well as countless other books, films, comic books, photos, maps, sheet music, recordings, and more than 167 terabytes of Web-based information, including legal blogs, Web sites of candidates for national office, and Web sites of members of Congress, collected since 2000.

Though some tweets will be singled out for their importance, such as the first tweet ever made, or Obama’s tweet shortly after winning the 2008 election, but every single public tweet will be recorded for posterity’s sake. So, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present to you a random tweet from my personal archives:
