For example, Manton&#8217;s own tweets are available in perpetuity <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manton.org\/tweets\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Manton built in the ability to filter by date, and search the entire archive. This makes it an ideal replacement for one of the remaining reasons I go to Twitter.com: to dig up a reference to some old thing I remember writing about. Micro.blog&#8217;s interface is faster and more accurate than Twitter!<\/p>\n<p>As Manton noted in his post, another cool side-effect is that you can connect your new tweets blog on Micro.blog to MarsEdit, creating a permanent offline archive of the posts on your Mac:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redsweater.com\/blog\/wp-content\/downloads\/2023\/04\/ImportedTweets.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of MarsEdit&#39;s post list interface showing a number of Twitter posts by way of Micro.blog\" title=\"ImportedTweets.png\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"151\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One shortcoming to archiving your blog in MarsEdit is that any images you uploaded to Twitter, which Micro.blog <em>does import<\/em> for you, will not be downloaded to MarsEdit. This is because MarsEdit doesn&#8217;t yet support downloading the media archive associated with a Micro.blog. I&#8217;m working on a fix for this soon, though!<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Manton on creating such a simple, useful way to archive all your tweets in a way that is both publicly readable and privately useful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manton Reece writes about a newly restored feature of Micro.blog, which allows you to import your Twitter archive into the service.
