Download your Twitter Archive. Part 2

The destruction of Twitter seems to continue. Tweet threads like this do not make me optimistic about the future, so download your Twitter experience before Twitter.com is nothing more than a empty website.

After requesting your archive you need to wait for twitter to package up your experience. When they do you will see this on your time line

And this in your email

After I requested my Twitter Archive, it took two days for mine to be available. This is longer than I have seen in the past, makes me think there is a mad rush for the door and a lot of people are doing this.

When you click on the tweet it asks you for your password and then lets you download your Twitter Archive.

It can be a big file. Mine is 5.1 gigs. The archive it is a folder containing two other folders and a text file called Your Archive.html. Launch that and you will be greeted with this.

Clicking on “Tweets” allows you to see your entire history with a nice search function on the right.
