I never particularly liked the fact that Yahoo acquired Flickr, but to be fair, it didn't try to yahoo-ize anything but the login process
@exiledsurfer missed a lot of those until I arrived on the meta-media path. Tried http://metajournalism.wordpress.com but not many were interested

@asteris basically i find that the only way to secure one's SM content is to back it up to one's own domain w/ tools & tricks. -
@exiledsurfer I tried doing that on my blog for a while, but it was too messy. I believe in db-based backups for such things -
@asteris well, of course one keeps a dB on a hard drive somewhere as well - but that doesnt make it avail to a site visitor. -
@exiledsurfer ah, wish I had time to tangle with spidering & archiving magic. I trust cloudies less & less each year, let alone some folding -
@asteris heh. here ya go. a spidered archive of this thread :-) http://twitter.theinfo.org/281494739604369408 … love@aaronsw too, btw. epic dude. -
@exiledsurfer whoa, impressive (cheers,@aaronsw!). Wish we could store these things, Twitter deindexing feels like bridges crumbling

@asteris also why happy (soon?) to get a twitter archive - been backing up using@ginatrapani's thinkup on my own domain, but has holes... -
@exiledsurfer no 3rd party backup app was ever enough. Twitter kept plenty of such aces up it's sleeves. Now to lobby them to reindex, too
