What did they say?
“Library to acquire ENTIRE Twitter archive — ALL public tweets, ever, since March 2006! Details to follow.” (Apr.14, 8:36am)
“Library acquires ENTIRE Twitter archive. ALL tweets.” (Apr.14, 9:33am)
Congratulations, you’ve been published!
Wow, they move fast in their acquisitions!
So, all your public tweets are stored in a library in Washington. How do you feel about that? Is it weird, or did you expect to be published someday anyways, and this is just easier than writing a book?
