the Library of Congress announced today that they'll be archiving every public tweet made since 2006.

HA HA!!!

I love to think what people will be thinking in 100, 200, 500 years from now when they read the stuff that has bee said on twitter.

Oh good, future generations can track the de-evolution of the species through endless amounts of Twat-speak.

Literacy, I miss you...

I think they will be horrified.

But seriously, it will be a public record of what the actual memes of the time were, instead of theories pieced together from bits of the surviving official record and efforts by anthropologists and historians.

But who knows what will still be here in 500 years.

Maybe it doesn't matter.
Maybe matter doesn't it.
