I notice that there's Politwoops. It's about politicians who delete their tweets. I have to say, having followed some of my colleagues, that sometimes when they really mean to say things, they are pretty inane, so when they have to delete something, it's usually really idiotic. It's usually after nine o'clock at night on a Friday night and they panic and realize, “Oh my God, did I just do that?” Then they press the delete button, which seems to kick off an algorithm at Politwoops. They grab it and put it on the site so you can check infamous political tweets that were deleted.
Does that happen with Twitter? Does the embarrassing tweet get deleted from Twitter when it happens, and does Politwoops pick it up from the ether? How does that work?
