Since Feb 2007, I’ve been playing with different methods of importing my social network activity and data into my own database and site. I first used<\/a> a plugin to import data into my then Expression Engine blog. Later when I switched to WordPress, I used variations of the Lifestream plugin<\/a> and then eventually the Twitter Tools plugin to import my tweets<\/a> into a separate archive. But still, there wasn’t one solution that allowed me easy access to viewing, archiving, searching through my data, and certainly no solution gave me a comprehensive view of replies or stats. That’s why I’m particularly excited to try ThinkUp.<\/p>\n

ThinkUp<\/a> captures your posts, replies, retweets, friends, followers, and links on social networks like Twitter and Facebook. We’ll be adding more networks in the future. ThinkUp stores your social data in a database you control, and makes it easy to search, sort, filter, export, and visualize in useful ways.<\/p>\n
