Just a reminder that one should never write something on The internet that they would not like the world to read…..Susan
From: Archival Today, an electronic publication of Gaylord Library Supplies
The Library of Congress to Archive Your Tweets......
"The Library of Congress is the home to the largest rare book collection in
North America, a rough draft of the Declaration of Independence, a Gutenberg
Bible, and now the 140-character daily musings and updates of millions of
ordinary people. Every public tweet since Twitter's 2006 inception, from
President Obama's tweet about winning the 2008 election to what your
neighbor ate for lunch two years ago, has been donated to the Library of Congress.
The LOC will preserve the Twitter archive and make it available to researchers
as a part of historical record of communication, news reporting and social trends.
Although it is certainly a wealth of information, and only public tweets are a part
of the archives, some people may have misgivings that their thoughts on Charlie
Sheen's meltdown are now a part of the historical record."
