This just underscores one of the main things I desire from social media these days: Ephemerality. I wish that social media services, Snapchat aside, started treating content as transient. Services like TweetDelete help, but I can't think of anything I'd say on a Microblogging service that I want to exist in 9 years.

Yes, yes, "everything on the internet is permanent". But every one of my social media streams could benefit from a "Automatically delete after one month" setting.

We grow, we learn. Why not let our social media represent who we are, not who we were?
