TwitWipe Allows Room for Regret
January 25, 2012
The introduction of Facebook Timeline has made quite a few users uncomfortable. Users of such social media outlets, especially the public forum Twitter, may have second thoughts about postings and revealing their entire past.
A service created in 2009 by Aalaap Ghag is becoming popular with Twitter users. The service, TwitWipe, allows users to easily erase all of their previously posted Twitter messages. The article on Mashable, “TwitWipe Gives You a Fresh Start by Deleting All Your Tweets” tells us more:
Do you feel like everything you’ve done for the last few years is recorded by Twitter’s eternal digital record? A new service, TwitWipe, can get rid of all your carefully crafted (and less carefully crafted) 140-character messages Rather than creating a new account, TwitWipe allows you to keep all of your followers, favorited tweets and people you’re following.
However, if you’re interested, you better hurry. This may be disabled soon. Users should also be aware that all Tweets in the public Twitter timeline are recorded in the Library of Congress, anyway. Hurry. We have heard that there are moves afoot to prevent social content from deletion. Best bet? Don’t post on social media. How’s that sound, you 900 million social media users?
