Twitterscribe - Sell Project

Twitterscribe is a web app that a Twitter user gives access to their account, allowing it to run a nightly cron job and download all their tweets, retweets, and favourites. Users can then login and search past tweets or exporting to CSV and PDF. Exports can be done on their entire history, or a range (but not search results, which are web only). We've stored over 20,000,000 tweets so far. Twenty million! I've not put any effort into marketing this, it was only ever a project that I setup and left to trundle along on its own. Perhaps the right person could change that? I had grand plans to create and sell hard copies of people's tweets — and lulu.com actually released an API making it possible to dynamically generate books, so I would consider this as a monetisation option. The other, obviously, would be pro accounts — the ability to save and search DMs, Twitter photos, and so on are gaps in functionality that people may pay for. Here's an example PDF of my tweets: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/163883/tweetsjanapril2014.pdf Now let me address some of your questions: Wait, can't people download their archive anyway? Right. But you can't search it, and it only includes tweets - no favourites. Can you call it 'Twitterscribe'? I thought that was against the terms of service. Good spot! You cannot. I've been running this since 2010, though, and they haven't said anything. However, you can also have 'tweeterscribe.com' which I've kept as a backup, and it would be trivial to rebrand. Problem solved. Can you save tweets? I thought that was against the terms of service. Come on, quit giving me a hard time here. Okay, technically it's against the TOS: "Exporting Twitter Content to a datastore as a service or other cloud based service, however, is not permitted." Again, they just don't care, or it's been too small for them to crack down on. Why are you selling? I'm working on new things ( https://exist.io ) and I don't have the time to think about it. Let me know if there's anything else you're curious about.
