Hello. You can browse through the tweets of other users. It is in the navigation below the buttons. If you want to find a specific tweet that you sort of know that content of, try http://snapbird.org/ instead. If the person tweets a lot, it might be possible that the tweet you are looking isn't going to be returned by Twitter. They only provide that latest 3200 tweets unfortunately. Also: Use Google Chrome, it is a much better browser. ;)

How can I find Tweets by other users? I'm trying to find this person's tweet but they tweet A LOT and Firefox is shit so it keeps freezing on me, and now after going back about 3 months of their tweets the page won't load anymore.

If only... Looking at our government's current understanding of the web, I doubt it.

Now we need to start punting something similar for the South African government.

Interesting point. I have been using lists to cultivate my network (Especially with Twitter), but cultivating lists brings about its own problems.

No one realises it will be problem. Only when your feed becomes unmanageable do you try and filter accounts. At this point, the effort to filter all your accounts will most likely be too much effort for the average user and instead just flake away from using the service.

Or may be you need to classify your online contacts in "dormant" and active", as I posted in my blog last Tuesday: "Is your online network too big?"

ye, I think the same applies to twitter, thus I only follow 50 people at any given time.

Re: Will Twitter really get to a billion users?

OSlOlSO — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 11:08:53 -0000

Firstly, I agree 100% to your statement that "the ephemeral nature of tweets is also a problem". I have missed the opportunity to follow amazing people just because of this. However, I somehow always follow these people via other ways (some of the people I follow that retweet the person's tweets.) at a later stage. But it is a problem with Twitter.

Twitter will surely be able to get a billion users. Most users will probably be inactive profiles (because they don't fall in your 3 categories.) - so the definition of a billion users will need to be defined. Nice post.

http://textwise.com - provides semantic analysis of text input, web pages etc. Provides the ability to match pages to other pages, categorization, concept tagging etc. It's a pretty cool service, and free up until many thousands of requests a day.

how are you

Re: Oldtweets – Browse your old tweets

shotbeak — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 02:21:26 -0000

The page numbers is how far back it goes by 25 tweets per page. In other
words, if you have 3200 tweets (Twitter's limit), you can go back 128 pages.
There are however some issues with Twitter with some users, where they
display a certain tweet count, but in fact have a different amount of
tweets. In that case, it will display empty pages.
