"Social analytics service Topsy has announced that it now offers the full archive of tweets on Twitter, meaning that anyone can search through the entire library of messages ever sent on the microblogging service.\r\n\r\nYou could, for example, look up your own first tweets -- probably for the sheer delight of embarrassing yourself -- by heading to Topsy.com, searching for 'from:yourusername,' hitting search and then sorting by oldest first.\r\n\r\nYou can, of course,\u00A0do that with Twitter's archives, but Topsy lets you do it for any account.\r\n\r\nHere's @TheNextWeb's first tweet from back in December 2007:\r\nRespectance.com, putting the \u2018emo\u2019 in social media - http://tinyurl.com/24d47n\r\n\r\n\u2014 The Next Web (@TheNextWeb) December 5, 2007\r\nLooking up first tweets is a somewhat trivial, if fun, activity to pass time, and Topsy's access to the motherload could yield far greater insight for, say, brands or marketers who are looking to track sentiment or opinion around a topic or product across a sustained period of time.\r\n\r\nTopsy's free service only offers a somewhat limited view of Twitter -- as we found out when it was used to compared Instagram and Vine video volumes\u00A0--\u00A0now gives exact statistics on Twitter (via analytics.topsy.com),\u00A0but this new found archival support provides even greater potential to\u00A0unlock more intelligence from Twitter when paired with a Pro account.\r\n\r\n\u27A4\u00A0Every tweet ever published, now at your fingertips\u00A0[Topsy]\r\n\r\nHeadline image via Thinkstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
