I was watching This Week in Google yesterday and one of the guests mentioned making his Twitter archive public via GoogleDrive. So, I went and did it. It’s only up to date though yesterday and doesn’t update itself as you need to download the data from your Twitter account and then upload the files to GDrive (and then make it public) but I thought it was an interesting idea to try our. Check it out @ http://goo.gl/NnqsE.

That looks fun. I will have to try it for one of my clients who does not really see all the tweets that go out on his company account. I’ll experiment with mine first though.
That’s an interesting concept but you would need to manually keep it up to date. i.e. downloading from Twitter and uploading the files to GDrive. Though doing that weekly or monthly wouldn’t be too much work.

I would do it quarterly at the most. But I may try this to keep it fresh. – Keep your Twitter Archive fresh on Google Drive using a bit of Google Apps Script Jisc CETIS MASHe
