Library of Congress Archiving Twitter

There can only be value added to a researcher's wide range of evidence based material to him/her by having Twitter donate its public tweets to the Library of Congress since its inception. However, the challenge will come when answering the question what use this will have and how messages can be accessed easily and in a manageable and usable way for an end research project. Computer search engine programs have a role in this. As for insights into human life and behaviour, businesses, politicians, and various groups "patrol" Twitter to see what sort of messages are being published concerning their organization. Individuals can now be hired as social media workers with regard to this. To the extent that humanity responds via Twitter to various regional, national, and global events offers hints into the collective thoughts of a group. In response to culture, Twitter is a bank of reaction to political decisions, everyday life, and what the weather is like. The development of Twitter and the limitations of 140 characters in a message may have something to say about online literacies.
