Is your Twitter really worth saving?

That's the question Aaron Belz on Huffington Post asks. Or something similarly along those lines when it comes to digital media. I try to spice it up because, ehh, it's the Huffington Post.

Is someone's Tweets worth saving? Are they literature? Is someone's Facebook status updates a form of artistic creation? According to Belz, the Library of Congress has started archiving Twitter posts for posterity. So, I guess some librarian believes it all has some merit.

Belz turns his article into a wannabe graduate student analysis of one man's Tweets, but the argument about permanence in digital media is a good one. Is digital-anything here for the long run? Yet, are books--which can deteriorate and turn to ruin--any better really at this whole permanence charade?

All I know is this blog has survived for over two years. That's 1 year and 364 days longer than I thought it'd last. In human years, this blog can finally talk and use the bathroom fairly proficiently.
