A lot of these kinds of 'Automatic Diary' apps use Twitter feeds as a key data source (especially now that Twitter accounts are integrated directly into iOS) - is anybody else worried that this valuable source of life records might dry up if Twitter starts shutting down API access?

Sounds like a pitch for http://join.app.net!

But in seriousness:

1) If you are pulling these tweets, you should be saving them.

2) This source is already “drying up” in some sense in that you cannot access your own tweets older than 3,200 tweets ago. (That’s a number I blew by years ago. It sucks. It’s “my” data — and text, at that! — and Twitter won’t let me have it.)

We're definitely following app.net very closely, and would be quite interested in figuring out how we can integrate in the future.
