Where Have All The Old Tweets Gone? by Danny Sulllivan, Search Engine Land (Jan 14)
People are tweeting so much that Twitter can't handle the search volume and can't retrieve tweets older than a week. Danny Sullivan offers some work-arounds. One is to use a site search at Google - site:twitter.com - and there are ways to limit the query. The same can be done at Bing and Yahoo, although their indexes are smaller.
FriendFeed is another method if you use it and have been importing your tweets.
