Twitter to let you download your whole Tweet archive

It seems Twitter is not done with its updates and still has a few surprises left for us. Twitter CEO Dick Costolo was asked way back in September if users would ever have the option to download their tweets and he had replied in the affirmative. Check out the tweet embedded below.

And now a few Twitter users have actually reported that they are seeing the option to download their whole Twitter archive. Please note that this feature is not available to everyone at this point of time. Twitter has that they are currently testing the ability to download tweets with a very small percentage of users. So it might be a while before you might be able to download all your tweets.

If you would like to see if you have the option, just go to your main settings tab in the web view of Twitter and scroll down to the bottom.

You will find a button called “Request your archive”. An email with a link to a zip file which contains your tweets will be sent to you as son as its ready for download. This file can be viewed from within any browser. The archive will contain all tweets that you have ever tweeted organised neatly by date. So it will be quite easy to go back to any specific year and find a tweet and then share that specific tweet with people.
