Following the closure of TwapperKeeper and the discussion of how to save tweets at the IT Futures Conference I thought it might be useful to include the Storify archive of Tweets from the day here.  It also happens to be a very good excuse to try the newest plugin on the EDINA Blogs platform!

We are using the Storify Plugin for WordPress which seems to work pretty well but I would love to know what you are using for your own Tweet storing/publishing purposes now that TwapperKeeper has gone, replaced with premium HootsuiteArchives.

If you’ve not used Storify before it’s essentially a tool for gathering and presenting Tweets but also mentions on blogs, Facebook, search results etc.

The Storify plugin works pretty simply – once installed you can create new archives from within WordPress or you can click on the Storify button on the Post editing window to access stories already created. As with the website the embedded Storify loads the first chunk of updates then as you scroll down it loads the next batch – so scroll through to see the full set!
