The first run completed successfully–797 tweets pulled down and steady synchronization thereafter.  After a T-day worth of hacking, the second production run is underway–a cadre of pwners pulling down tweets from three Twitter accounts.  I cleaned up the database, improved the logging, and found and fixed a few edge cases.

The point of this project is to build a Free (as in Free Software) toolkit for getting my data back off the various web-based applications/social networks/platforms/hacks on which I put it.  Twitter’s a push-over.  Twitpic is next…  I’m working my way to Facebook.
