My Ultimate guide to Twitter

Twitter is really becoming popular in fact id say it ll be the email of the 21st century , but it can be very confusing to understand how to use it if you've never used it or are new to it so I've created this article that shares all the links i think will
teach people how to begin using Twitter or if you've already begun using it this information will dramatically improve how you use Twitter. Simply copy and paste any links you cant click on and paste them into your browser URL bar, when i have more time ill make more of the links click able. I will shorten the links using the website bit.ly so at the end of the long links to information youll see a short link you can click on starting with bit.ly... if you click these links the full article will open up in your browser.



If you appreciate my hard work please click the Digg button on my blog so others can find my blog and all the useful info on it thanks a lot oh and obviously feel free to tweet about this article !

How to back up and save Twitter accounts

http://www.tothepc.com/archives/tools-to-backup-save-twitter-account-tweets/

ive just tried a service called backupmy.net which is free to use, the website has had lots of problems recently, its security certificate had expired & opening the site in ie8 browser causes ie8 to crash. I also tried to backup my tweets which takes a long time to do so they directmessage you when its done..but when i got the DM from them and re logged into their service they hadnt backed up my tweets ! Anyway today 5 August 2010 i allowed backupmy access to my twitter account again & it had backed up some of my tweets. It has backed up 1597 tweets going back to March 9 2010 of the 5831 tweets ive done in total..i dont know why they only backed up to March so ill ask them. They give you 3 ways to view the backed up tweets the 1st is html, you just click the html link and your tweets are shown in a webpage. the 2nd link is for JSON which ive never heard of nor had my Microsoft Windows Vista pc it doesnt know how to open this file type i searched for more info and found this site http://www.file-extensions.org/json-file-extension so i selected notepad as the programme to open this file & it opens the info but its aweful to look at or read..heres an example of what the info looks like

again this isnt what i want from a twitter backup..what i want & im sure anyone looking to back up their tweets is something readable like the HTML option but in a file we can save eg a PDF file...does any one know of a backup service that does this ? i dont want to rely on backupmy.net always being available online ( i wish them luck & hope they do.) but i want all my tweets saved
in a way that i have all the info on my Pc so i can look at the data any time i want..i dont want to have to even go online to look at the info. HELP ME

Another service ive tried is called twitter backup from johannburkard.de but on 5 August 2010 i cant see the info on how to use this on that website anymore so ive tweeted the programme maker asking where its gone.

i just found the link to it its http://johannburkard.de/blog/programming/java/backup-twitter-tweets-with-twitterbackup.html

or heres a link to it from a software listing website
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Other-Internet-Related/TwitterBackup.shtml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Anyway this only adds newer tweets so its an incremental backup..good idea. A comment on this site by a user of the programme said Twitter only keeps your last 3200 tweets which is 160 pages, is this true ? when i used this software it took 3 hours to do but then it said error couldnt write to c:\twitterbackup.xml access is denied
i found the programmes save path in c\users\nameofmypc\appdata\local\temp ...we need to be able to save any software from the internet in proper locations like c\programmefiles so its easy to find the software we install.
i installed twitter backup again it was version 3.0.2 i saved it to c\users\mypcname by right clicking the download the software link and choose save as.
But i just can not get this programme to work, theres a real lack of detailed steps on johannburkard.de about how to get it to work. what little info there is fails to say which OS the instructions are for ! i had to email the developer and he said the info was for Windows XP but im on Windows Vista. so ive spent many hours so far trying to fully backup all my tweets and im yet to find a programme or service that does what i want...any one who reads this and knows of a better service please let me know asap thanks.
