It sounds like quite an ordeal you've had.<BR/><BR/>We're working on ways to backup your social network from Twitter to Identica to avoid having this kind of problem in the future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14422595872136269161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653607.post-88891608213239877162008-08-05T00:51:00.000-04:002008-08-05T00:51:00.000-04:00My favourite part of this whole blog post is the p...My favourite part of this whole blog post is the photo, and it is missing.

It was very strange not being able to find your account on Friday. <BR/><BR/>I agree nothing is permanent online especially not with all the free apps we use these days. Hence, the skepticism from many IT professionals. <BR/><BR/>Remember it's the people and relationships that matter not the tools.Bargainistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192938722206095554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653607.post-87279191672932104362008-08-04T23:04:00.000-04:002008-08-04T23:04:00.000-04:00Definitely!

He points out that LinkedIn lets us export our contacts (have you backed up yours lately?) and that Twitter will need to make this feature available to move forward. I tend to agree with him--it should be something that those who develop these networking tools think about.Connie Crosbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049314387546446951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653607.post-47798559403696189572008-08-04T23:02:00.000-04:002008-08-04T23:02:00.000-04:00Hi Connie,Good to have you back. :) The difficulty...Hi Connie,<BR/>Good to have you back. :) The difficulty with this type of situation is that some of us are not connecting with the same people across all the different sites/tools that are out there (i.e. I used FB and LinkedIn differently than Twitter) so when Twitter goes down or deletes you, there is no real backup for finding many of those people again.<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't it be great if someone developed an Export tool for Twitter so you could export and save your Followers/Followees?tinkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459069483636609126noreply@blogger.com
