• If you delete a tweet, people can no longer find it. It was one of Twitter’s greatest, if not most obvious flaws. If you screwed up, thanks to the search results, your screw-up was encased in amber for the rest of eternity, or at least until everyone forgot about it. This created one notable/infamous incident, where ABC’s Terry Moran mentioned that Obama called Kanye West a “jackass,” then deleted the tweet – even though everyone could still see it. Fortunately, Twitter has finally fixed the problem. Despite that, you probably shouldn’t trust Twitter to delete your old tweets for good. source
