Twitter + history = Twistory!
Twistory is a service that allows you to save your Twitter updates to your favorite calendar application. You can save to a web calendar or even to Microsoft Outlook. There’s no need to give up your password. All you need is your Twitter handle, and Twistory will generate the URL of your updates.
Please keep in mind that your Twitter account must be set to public, as Twistory will not work with private accounts. Also note that it is only your public updates, not direct messages (DMs), that you will see in your Twistory feed. If you tweet to someone, or if someone tweets to you or about you, these are the updates you’ll see in your calendar.
Why use Twistory?
Twitter, and even Twitter search, only allows you to see your past updates for about two weeks back. Twistory allows you to see much further back than that. It may even go back and bring in updates prior to the date you actually make your first URL request with Twistory.
