content: Cross post from another sub: How to Archive Recently Deleted Tweets First of all, I hope this cross posting one of my old posts from another sub is okay. I guess if it isn't I will find out. I thought this was relevant with all of the Hollywood Celebrities being busted for and subsequently deleting old tweets. Even if you aren't wanting to archive deleted tweets today, there will probably come a time when this skill will be useful. I apologize if many of you know about this already, but perhaps it will be new to some people. My Original Post is here: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2318205 I will use most of the same wording below but incorporate the updates into the body and add some new info I have found since. I read a couple of articles recently about Chrissy Teigen and company disabling their twitter after being exposed for pizzagate-related material. While screenshots of tweets are better than nothing, it is better to have a third-party archive of the tweets. That way, people can't say they were photoshopped. If the tweets in question were deleted within the past 3-6 months, you may be able to recover them from a search engine that has a cache feature. To my knowledge, the search engines that have this feature are Google, Bing, Yandex, Gigablast, and Exalead. These instructions are for Google, but most search engines will operate similarly. I will list the exceptions further down in this post.  When you go to one of the search engines, you can find all of the tweets for that particular account by typing in "site:" and then the twitter URL. (e.g. site:https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen) Also, check the mobile URL as some tweets may have only been cached with that version too. (e.g. site:https://mobile.twitter.com/chrissyteigen/) If you are looking for a specific tweet, you can put the search term in front. (e.g. pedo site:https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen) On the search results, it will include all of the old tweets. In order to open the old tweets, you will have to click on the down arrow to the right of the URL and right-click on cached. From there you will need to paste that cached URL into archive.is and the tweet will be archived permanently. Below are some of the tweets I archived for Chrissy Teigen. She had thousands of tweets so I didn't go through all of them. @johnlegend I told them u are a pedo because i don't want you going to Toronto where there are pretty ladies http://archive.fo/qLGXs Hands down my favorite takes of the night. Not just 2 people wanting to go to tokyo for new year’s eve and sushi nope http://archive.fo/3dGzu "skinny pedos drink pedolite" http://archive.fo/g40MR Here are some of the exceptions to the rules above. Yandex: Click on the "advanced search" button first. (It currently looks like two lines with dots in them.) Put the twitter address (e.g. site:https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen) in the "on this site" box. Then type the keyword in the search bar. If you want to see all of the tweets, just type the twitter handle in the search bar. See an example here:  https://yandex.ua/search/?text=chrissyteigen&lr=143&site=twitter.com%2Fchrissyteigen Gigablast: From my experience, Gigablast doesn't have many tweets. For the tweets that are on there, I found them without having to put site: at the front of the search terms. Compare https://www.gigablast.com/search?c=main&qlangcountry=en-us&qlang=en&q=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FrealDonaldTrump%2F&s=0 vs. https://www.gigablast.com/search?c=main&qlangcountry=en-us&qlang=en&q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FrealDonaldTrump%2F Also, unlike the other four search engines, the pages saved from Gigablast don't have the nice "original" URL at the top of archive.is. Since there aren't many pages on Gigablast that aren't archived elsewhere, this hasn't been an issue so far. However, if you find a page that isn't available elsewhere, you can always send a message to the staff at archive.is (http://blog.archive.is/ask) as they did recently add this feature for Exalead.  When you are archiving tweets, it is best to take note of their specific URL, rather than relying on the search feature of archive.is. Their custom search engine is touchy, and you may not be able to recover what you saved easily. For example, look at the difference in number of URLs based on weather or not a twitter URL is in all lowercase or partially capitalized. http://archive.is/https://twitter.com/jamesgunn* vs. http://archive.is/https://twitter.com/JamesGunn* If you found a tweet you wanted to share later, but couldn't remember whether or not it was capitalized, you might have to search longer to find it. There are occasions when I tweet will be posted and deleted too soon for any of the cache sites to pick up on the full tweet. However, you still may be able to prove it existed. If that tweet was mentioned in another tweet, you will see the original tweet's URL in the second one. You can then search for that URL. The search results will include users' timelines that featured that original tweet, hopefully before it was deleted. For example, in this thread, https://voat.co/v/pizzagatewhatever/2334772, I was trying to prove what Liz Crokin had tweeted in https://twitter.com/LizCrokin/status/950993013148282882 existed. Since that tweet included the original URL, https://twitter.com/MtWest9/status/587281398941134850, I searched for it on Google. The search results included the main twitter page for a user who had retweeted it before it was deleted (https://twitter.com/k9truth). Since that cached page is now archived, no one can dispute the original tweets' authenticity. http://archive.is/qF8Zu#selection-4439.0-4969.3 If you don't have the specific URL, you may be able to find the tweet by searching for keywords with a search limited to site:https://twitter.com. I had to do that once to find this tweet, http://archive.is/dj5xc#selection-5576.1-5957.1, to post on this thread on pizzagate, https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2319980. It appears that the Twitter mirror site hxgyjn that I mentioned in my original post is no longer functioning. However, if another mirror site ever pops up you could offer proof of a tweet by archiving a cached version of that site also. I apologize for the long post. I wanted it to be extensive enough that you could use it to find deleted tweets no matter the situation.
