Our unique transcript export feature allows you to query our tweet cache for a hashtag over a given timeframe and view (and save or print) a list of everyone who used that hashtag. This is especially popular for chat-style hashtags so people who missed the event can go back and recap what was said without having to page back and forth. It's one of our most popular features so I'd say that archiving tweets is a pretty standard practice. It's also much easier than setting up a FriendFeed room/group/imaginary friend :).

I haven't looked at the Lifestream plugin yet, but I have used FeedWordPress to pull in Tweets from RSS feeds to WordPress extremely effectively (I discovered a few weeks ago that I had been inadvertently saving all my Tweets in a forgotten WordPress instance.) An institutional archive of anything put out by newsfeed - tweet, blog post, wiki update... - and based on event-driven updating, rather than arbitrary crawling/backup intervals - sounds like a very worthwhile system and resource to me; and we will be looking into this for ArchivePress.

There's a wealth of material associated with conferences worth preserving. Beyond that, and with greater impact, the history of #iranelection and potentially further public events will be more difficult to write if a Twitter archive is not preserved.

I've got to say though, I've no interest in the preservation of my own tweets. I do have an interest in archiving Google Reader shared links and Delicious bookmarks.

I mentioned this is a post on <a href="http://jiscpowr.jiscinvolve.org/2009/06/19/preserving-tweets-the-cilip2-experience/" rel="nofollow">Preserving Tweets: The CILIP2 Experience</a> - but should have included this case in this post.

The best solution I've found so far is to set up a Friendfeed room, with keyword or hashtag twitter search. Ideally do this in advance.
