Twitter, Now Searchable, Exposes Your Best and Worst Quips to Discovery

Twitter’s archives are now fully archived and searchable. Anyone can search for tweets back to 2006, when the service began, at https://twitter.com/search-home. The Advanced Search page offers some interesting options, including place specification, date limiters, and positive vs. negative tone: https://twitter.com/search-advanced. Rest assured that you can remove tweets from the public collection (although do remember that the Library of Congress maintains an archival, non-editable, and currently non-searchable collection of tweets). Just sign into your Twitter account and locate any questionable tweets from your past. Then delete them. This could be quite a chore for some of us.
