The issue of backing up data from your Twitter account is becoming more important as people spend considerable amounts of time and effort building a valuable reputation and network of contacts.  If you are a person who regularly posts tweets on twitter, then you would want to create a backup of your tweets. The backup would be your own personal archive of what your tweet.

One of the fastest and most simple ways to back up a Twitter account is by using TweetBackup. This app — part of the services offered by Backupify — quickly compiles your most recent 3,200 tweets after signing up, and then signing in, with Twitter. You can back up these tweets to a URL, or export the tweets into either a CSV, RSS, TXT, or HTML file.
