I was chatting with @Gordonamy today and she was talking about a friend who lost of their followers. Seems like another Twitter glitch and so after some back and forth about the horrors  of it all, she asked “@thesleepygeek hopefully, its a simple fix hey, how DO we back up our lists anyway?”

Of course that prompts a searching session and it brought me here: http://tweetbackup.com/.

This service seems to provide a backup that we all probably want. The problem is that after some digging it isn’t a backup if your profile. ***UPDATE (2-May-09): Read the commend below from Jonas*** This service will simply backup all of your tweets and all you have to do it follow them. Their server will automatically follow your account and record anything that you tweet.

Cool service, but don’t be fooled. At this point the only people who are backing up twitter accounts are twitter themselves. Someone please prove me wrong and let me know!
