I'm really curious because for me personally, if I were to delete something later then my opinion is that I shouldn't have posted it in the first place. Twitter, for me, has the feel of an impromptu off-the-cuff conversation with some odd, semi-random, group of people. It encourages the offhand remark, things that make sense and have value (hopefully) at a given time. When tweeted, a comment is valuable to the owner and the readers, but as time passes and the context is lost the value and meaning changes. I like the idea of enforcing a public ephemerality on things that are created within a specific time and context. |

That makes a lot of sense. I could absolutely see the usefulness of an option to delete tweets that have taken place in a conversation where previous tweets had been deleted.
Sure it could be abused, but it wouldn't leave any out-of-context updates out there.
