As you suggested, I installed tweet deck on my lap top. As mentioned I like to tweet for personal memo reasons.
With tweet deck I have asked support desk to confirm how many tweets are saved so I can look back with a time stamp etc. on all of my "tweets". Support came back to me and said that I can only retrieve my last 200 tweets!
Now, (stay with me here) my reasons for tweeting are purely personal and I have no followers by design. However, Twitter has said that they will archive tweets "forever". Therefore the warning "be careful what you tweet!" There seems to be a disconnect with what Twitter says they will do with "tweets" and what tweet deck says is possible. Tweet Deck says they are doing a "workaround" to save personal tweets (as in my case). Seems to me that a "workaround" should be very simple. However if it doesn't exist now we should create it.
Your thoughts please??!!
