Like tweeting? Careful, Congress is going to ARCHIVE them all!

So, according to this article I read, the Library of Congress is planning on archiving every tweet from 2006 on. 

Why?

God only knows.  Sounds a bit like a waste to me, but then, I've not gotten into Twitter (hell, barely into Facebook.)

You're not alone. I tend to forget I even have Facebook. I mean, if something actually worth telling friends and family comes up I'll call them or email them. Putting it up on a public space seems kinda impersonal to me.
