Import your Twitter archives into YouAre
One of the reasons why we started building YouAre was because it was so hard to know what we published on particular day on Twitter and this impeded our ability to have an ordered, chronological archive of our lives.
If you were thinking of migrating from Twitter to YouAre or if you would like to have your Twitter archives in YouAre, we just activated in your settings menu the option to import the tweets that you’ve published to date. Twitter allows importing of 6.400 tweets and as with each YouAre update, they will be saved via a URL like this:
http://youare.com/username/year/month/day/idnum
When we built this feature, we had 2 options: allow you to import tweet without having to enter your password or with your password. What you publish on Twitter, as with what you publish on YouAre, is very personal content. To ensure we aren’t allowing others to take your identity, we decided to password protect this feature.
Your Twitter account will not be infringed upon.
When Twitter allows general authentification without having to enter a password, we will implement this.
Settings: Import your tweets into YouAre.
Update March 26, 2009: We can’t activate OAuth just because Twitter only let us acccess Twitter API URLs. Twitter API has 100 requests/hour, not enough to import the contents of a unique user (6400 updates maximum). 1 request = 20 updates maximum.

Twitter’s OAuth support is in beta and open to all developers. If you guys need help getting started, ask @tagalus; both tagal.us and ComboTweet.com (same developers) have OAuth implemented already.

Twitter Search said:
thats great that you are talking about the twitter api,a good example of searching with the twitter api is on twiogle.com because you can search on twitter and google at the same time.
