Still not sure how you feel about the quirky micro-blogging service?

Well, the Library of Congress has determined that your 140 character posts on Twitter are invaluable to recorded human history.  So, they will be storing all Tweets that were not private–starting from the very beginning back in 2006.

As a result, you might be famous.  Or, your grandkids might be able to gain some valuable insight into their grandfather’s habits and behaviors in his early twenties.  For me, the LOC will now house my real-time recorded collection of transgressions of AC Transit of Alameda County, CA.  (Arguably, not the best example of historical stuff.)

I’m no Ph.D., but it boggles my mind to think what we might be able to learn about ourselves and the world around us from this wealth of data. And I’m certain we’ll learn things that none of us now can even possibly conceive.

I have to agree . . . those are some historical documents in the making.
