Ask HN: Is anyone doing anything interesting with their exported Twitter data?

Grabbed the archive of all of my Twitter data today. I see it has all of my tweets, among other things.

Has experimented with converting the data into something that would be archived in a more readable way? Wordpress posts, PDFs, static HTML, etc. Any other interesting scripts to run on the data?

Pretty much anything I found via search involved connecting to an app that scraped the site.

My apologies that this isn’t quite what you are looking for, but reading your question reminded me of a previous discussion about using Facebook chat logs to create a chatbot where you can talk to yourself [1]. Since Twitter data typically isn’t as conversational you would probably get a very different result.

Actually, there was something else a while back looking at VC Twitter feeds and making auto-generated text from those. [2]

Those might give some inspiration (I’m not affiliated with either).

I’m working on a product that does that. Multiple sites. Twitter integration will be a month yet. I want a search engine for it first.

Neat! Do you have something I could subscribe to for updates?
