Description

I'd like to only keep a certain threshold of Tweets in my Twitter account and auto-delete older ones. I thought about scripting this with cron, but BitlBee seems the better place for this, since after an initial setup it could combine sending a new Tweet with deleting an old one. What do you think about this?

Sounds like obscure enough that you should write a script for it.

The "undo" command would let you do it, but you'd need the full IDs of those tweets. Surely it'd be easier to just use a Twitter API lib for some fancy scripting language and write this. Sounds like something you could do with 10 lines of code.

There's also the TweetDelete website that will delete old tweets for you, without requiring any local client/script :)

lorddeath: Yeah, but then you're giving a third entity access to stuff you want to delete.
