Great session! Dodgy connection due to the storm today, so apologies if this was already covered, but I wondered what the panelists have to say about the archiving of social media in light of twitter’s full-archive search? Given the dynamic nature of social-media posts growing organically and perhaps exponentially over time what can we learn about requirements for building such repositories from previous web archiving etc., initiatives?
