Deleting previous tweets from twitter search may not solve everything but at least it's a start.

Angel, truly nothing on the web is ever deleted, although removing it from twitter search makes that particular piece of content much more difficult to discover.

Hi Joseph, I believe if you use search.PeopleBrowsr.com, tweet search goes back 30 days...

How can we be sure if its deleted at all? The moment we type and send it, someone else reads it, and some twitter client would have fetched it. Or maybe, that moment a Google bot caches the page.
I dont think twitter not saving them is a solution at all. But its a start!Managed hosting

There's also a fairly recent change to note -- searched Tweets only go back about a week or so. I can't quite confirm it, but old tweets are no longer visible via search. This enhancement validates that Twitter is working on making the search better and more useful (and less straining) on the servers.

Thanks for sharing this. Good to know!
