Am I the only one who finds it weird that people want to migrate their tweets? Is it just sentimental feelings or what is the purpose of that? To me tweets have always just been in-the-moment brain farts. People have tens of thousands of tweets with the vast majority being just completely irrelevant now and really rather uninteresting. This reminds me of people who keep all their school notebooks in shelves from when they were 5 years old, as if you'd ever go back and look at some scribbles from 50 years ago.


Many people use Twitter for blogging, whether in the old tweet-storm style or the newly supported long-post style.

They would want to port over the content just like someone migrating from Wordpress to Jekyll.
