Twitter’s new “blue line” for conversational treads is great for surfacing older conversations. But unlike those great conversational everlasting tweets a lot of tweets are time-sensitive, like countdowns, giveaways, ‘AmA ____ ask me anything today’ or other things that need not last forever. If you post such tweets that won’t be relevant after a certain amount of time, Spirit can delete it for you, just with a hashtag. Let’s call it a SnapChat for Twitter.
Spirit is an application for twitter, developed by a former Twitter Engineer - Pierre Legrain to make you the God of all your tweets, empowering you to set the time of death simply by using a hashtag (#15m, 5h or #7d). Besides Keeping your digital detritus to minimum, a meteorologist has found a great application for this; preventing storm warnings from being retweeted once they’re no longer in place. A similar app on twitter called efemr has similar functionality.
