Keep those Tweets

You tweeted about it on Friday, but where will that tweet be this time next year? If you're a heavy social-media user, you might want to try a new service that can archive, organize and categorize all those tweets, status updates, links to YouTube shenanigans and all your other social networking odds and ends.

"Social media is great in the moment, but it's fleeting," says Tim Gasper (CWR '09), part of the Case Western Reserve University alumni trio that developed the content-curation service keepstream. "Most of the time, if you didn't catch something, it's gone."

Keepstream also lets you cull online shoutouts about you or your product, making it a useful tool for bloggers and small businesses. Try setting up a free account at keepstream.com.
