Recently many users got banned from using Twitter for some or the other reasons. Many users felt they’ve been a victim for no reason whatsoever. Even from the Twitter’s keeping a ‘mum’ on the whole banning process. This naturally means their previous tweets hold no existence now.

If you are an avid Twitter user and are worried about Twitter banning your account and losing all your ‘precious’ tweets, you can sign-up at BackUpMyTweets and store/back up your tweets there. The service comes in two flavors – free and paid. The difference between them is quite funny though. The ‘paid’ option will cost you $9.95 (~ Rs. 500) a year for storing 1 GB worth of tweets. The ‘free’ option will let you backup 1GB worth of tweets but in return would ask for an obligation. It wants you to tweet about the service and its offerings once. Just one time advertisement of BackUpMyTweets and you will be able to enjoy the benefits of the ‘paid’ option.

People surely come up with good, no wait, great ideas! This is one of them. So back up your tweets now because who knows when Twitter tags you – ‘Objectionable’! :)
