TweetBackup Has Very Limited Functionality At This Time
Posted by: dragonblogger // Category: TwitterI have known several people who have lost primary twitter accounts and to work toward rebuilding a new twitter profile. A tool to make this much easier is Tweetbackup which will is supposed to back up your full follower list as well as your last 3200 tweets, you can then leverage this backup to restore and rebuild a new twitter account, or even an existing account that was deleted and recreated.
I logged into the service and was presented with my home tab, I clicked on the view posts tab to see what is listed, and I liked the presentation of all of your outbound tweets.
So I decided to backup my account, I was really hoping that you can backup your entire follower listing so you can import them into a new account, but alas, this feature is not yet supported.
I also learned that there is no restore feature yet, so this site is only useful for backing up what you have said on twitter.
In Review, apart from backing up everything you said on twitter so you can easily see what was said on which date/time and keep a log of everything you tweeted with your accounts, this site has no functionality to restore your profile.
Summary:
I would like to see this service be able to back up an entire twitter profile including followers and allow you to import that into another profile to perhaps build a replacement account should your primary account be ruined.

Thanks for writing about TweetBackup. We are adding new functions on a weekly basis. Archiving your followers was an great idea! Thanks
