As part of our partnership with JISC, we are now releasing an open version of TwapperKeeper that is designed to run on your own server.
This will give users the power of archiving tweets using the same power of TwapperKeeper but on their own server. It also provides many of the similar output features of TwapperKeeper including HTML, EXCEL, RSS, and JSON.
We are also planning to host yourTwapperKeeper for customers if they want their own environment (yes, even TwapperKeeper needs to make some revenue at some point!)
Finally, if you are a hacker, pick up the code, change, branch, and run with it!

I am very excited about this server-based open/source option.

In the config.php you can set who can whitelist a list of twitter accounts that can “create archives” (so you could limit it just to 1 person).
Anyone can view the info however (there is no control of that other than not giving out the URL to the site
Let us know if you have any other questions.
