 » Social Media Roundup: Archive Your Twitter History

In a perfect world, tweets would be archived, all social media platforms would come with their own Siri-like guide, and you would never have to ask (or explain the answer to) the question: What’s the ROI on social media? At least one of these wishes is in the process of being granted.

That and more in today’s Social Media Roundup:

### Back that Tweet Up

**One for the records:**It might finally be true: [Twitter CEO promises that users will be able to download their entire archive of tweets by 2013 (opens in a new tab)](http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/26/twitter-ceo-dick-costolo-twitter-sees-a-billion-tweets-every-two-and-a-half-days-users-can-download-their-entire-archive-by-year-end/)
. No more hurriedly favoriting tweets and snapping screenshots after an event because of that 10-day rule? All in favor, say aye. How will you use the Twitter archive feature? *(ht [@YourMembership (opens in a new tab)](https://twitter.com/yourmembership/status/273863266470621186)

**Baby tweets:**Think your association is getting a little too social media obsessed? One couple (most likely) has it beat. [Yesterday, a baby was born, with an unusual name. (opens in a new tab)](http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/hello-hashtag-parents-baby-girl-twitter-inspired-name-220500698.html)
 Hashtag. More bizarre? It’s not the first baby named after social media: According to Yahoo, last year a man named his firstborn daughter Facebook. *(ht [@MemberClicks (opens in a new tab)](https://twitter.com/MemberClicks/status/273854287916957696)
