Default Plans For ALL Twitter's To Be Cataloged By Library Of Congress

Wow. Why on earth would our government spend money and labor on this. Unless of course it's money from the labor of its human resources.

I don't know what Twitter really is but if it's anything like Facebook there's no need for that nonsense to be recorded by government forever.

I don't think that it is a government function either but am glad someone is doing it. The twitter library will be an immense treasure for sociologists.

The empty-headed vaccuousness and lack of education of most Americans (with a direct comparison to the rest of the world for reference) will be preserved for the ages, to be marveled at by future generations. How embarrassing.
