You could try http://tweetbackup.com to grab all tweets for a given user
and then
export these as text, HTML or XML.

: 
: Hi everyone,
: 
: I was wondering if anyone had any experience of taking a twitter feed
: and downloading the context of it, so as it could be turned into a
text
: file for analysis?
: 
: Using either an individual's twitter page or twitter search you can
: generate an RSS feed (for example:
: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=%23barackobama is the feed for
: #BarackObama). But I can't find a way to download it in a usable form.
: 
: I did try Stu Shulman's excellent blog capture tool
: (https://surveyweb2.ucsur.pitt.edu/qblog/page_login.php) but it didn't
: seem to be able to see the feeds.
: 
: Does anyone have any suggestions?
: 
: Many thanks, Nick
