Twitter & The Library of Congress


Check out this article from CNN.com, "Who said tweets are trivial?" by Gina Trapani. The Library of Congress announced last week that it will archive billions of tweets that have been posted on the popular social networking site, Twitter. Although a majority of tweets may seem meaningless, there are a great number that reflect our culture and society. Since most tweets are public, and are only allowed to be up to 140 characters, they can be easily stored for future generations.
