Google to Index Your Embarrassing Twitter Trail

* The old saying “Be Careful what you Ask For - You just might Get it!” comes to mind. And a twist on that is … “Be Careful what you Publicly Communicate -as It just might Get You!” Everything is archived these days. You generally can’t expect to even have a poor web site in the beginning, and not expect someone to be able to go back and view what it used to look like. You can’t have a property (real estate) that used to look good, but has been left unimproved or a dead lot, because someone can go back and forward in time on Google Earth and see what happened (see my: Life After People Oakland Park, Florida article here on this blog.) So now Google will archive and make searchable your Tweets via the Twitter Service. And those tend to be somewhat like “text messages” on cell phones. You could bleep out something in the heat of passion that you’d want to take back afterwards. But you might no longer be able to. Future employers or others could look up what silly stuff, or damaging personal stuff, you may have tweeted … and use it against you - with or without your knowledge. — Alan Spicer

Billions of Twitter posts will no longer fade into obscurity now that Google is indexing them all in a massive, searchable database.

Google announced a new search feature that lets users look at an entire history of tweets on any subject, in any time frame. The feature will roll out over the next couple of days, but you can see it in action now through a special link (ironically, it didn’t work for me in Chrome, but Firefox was fine).
