You may your own reason for wanting a copy of all the messages mentioning your favoritehashtag, but we’re okay with that. However, as before, you didn’t have the option of saving or archiving those messages. Let’s underline the word “before” as Google provided a way of extracting those messages in few simple steps. This Google trick doesn’t only permit you to obtain those hashtag messages but can also monitor updates and other tweets regarding a particular hastag.
You don’t have to be internet or computer savvy in order to perform this task. Actually, the Google does the job by connecting to your Twitter through Google script.
Now, the Twitter Archiver is available in two editions: Free and Premium. We can always translate the meaning of Premium into having much more decent service including faster performance in archiving tweets; having email support options; and Platinum feature that permits remote screen sharing, Skype and Hangout one-on-one support system.
