Who says digital communications are ephemeral and, therefore, less permanent than written communication? The Library of Congress has announced a plan <http://www.dmwmedia.com/news/2010/04/14/library-congress-archive-entire-history-twitter-quottweetsquot> to archive every public tweet on Twitter since its inception. The library's director of communication said that the library has been archiving material from the web since 2000 and currently houses 167 terabytes of information.
