[Air-L] Q: Twitter text logs?

[Kathie Gossett]

Kevin,

We use a tool called TwapperKeeper (twapperkeeper.com) to archive  
tweets. Up until today you could only archive by hashtag, but the site  
announced yesterday that they were upgrading their site today and  
adding the ability to archive by user, @ replies and other Twitter  
tags. The trick that the archive begins when you set it up, so you  
have to know fairly early in the conversation that you want to build  
an archive.
