TweetBackup: Backup for Tweets

TweetBackup will save a copy of your Twitter Messages for free. The features:

1. Runs Over The Internet
2. Daily Backu
3. No Installation Required
4. No Twitter-Password Required

The downsides are:

1. You need to follow them on Twitter (which in my view is fair enough).
2. There is a limit of 3200 Tweets, due to a limitation of the Twitter service itself.
