Video commonly refers to several storage formats for moving
pictures: digital video formats, including Blu-ray Disc, DVD, QuickTime, and
MPEG-4; and analog videotapes, including VHS and Betamax. Video can be recorded
and transmitted in various physical media: in magnetic tape when recorded as
PAL or NTSC electric signals by video cameras, or in MPEG-4 or DV digital media
when recorded by digital cameras. Try thermvb to ipad converter

For those of you they may have tried to use my DM Deleter (http://dcortesi.com/tools/d..., I just updated it today to make it compatible with some changes Twitter recently made.

It's a brute-force way of doing it, but it does allow you to clear out your DM's at the expense of Twitter's databases...

Now I feel like a really bad friend for not having previously directed you to @dacort's amazing DM whacker.

http://dcortesi.com/tools/d...

I can't live w/o it. I've used it for awhile now. Every time my DMs get above 1k I use it. I mean, after all, I have the important ones archived in my GMail. :)

Sorry I didn't tell you sooner!!

p.s. @dacort does the most useful scripts!! :)

I guess I fail to see the real problem here. I've never had to delete a single DM. Granted, I only have a couple of hundred, but I don't need to delete any. They're just "there," and to me that's the nature of the modern Internet: not needing to delete anything.

I agree with those who have complained about the ever-vanishing trash can; I would like to see it around all of the time for those instances of typos or accidentally hitting enter instead of the shift key.

Wow, you are soooooo right. And how do you delet the @ messages once you've read them?

Someone crafty will turn this to our advantage, and utilize this as a free backup storage medium, ala gmail.

Agreed... along with Favorites. I tend to use Favorites as a bookmark these days, to capture a tweet so that I can get a URL when no on my machine. Once I get to my computer, I bookmark and then delete...but often it is a few at a time or on a "hot topic" period not always done, and they stack up.

Also what's with the 2000 limit. Please, sometimes you find a few groups and things grow. Deleting 20 to make room for new ones is a royal pain, groups, sections all of this should be easier to do.

I thought I was the only one wondering why they didn't have this option. Thanks for posting this Chris. Hopefully something gets done about it :)

I agree with Phillip.
Does it cost more for a disk spindle to spin while being 60% full or 1% full?

The answer may surprise you. It's the same damn thing!!

I agree with Rob. The delete twit needs fixed. Id like to see groups without the need for tweetdeck.

Yes i agree with you chris lack of trashcan is something twitter needs to look into.

And i do agree @mari an option to choose 10, 20, 30, or 50 (or whatever) tweets per page! is also something Twitter need to look into

Delete them but stop talking about the recession.

Wow that puts my 159 direct messages into perspective.I agree it would be a great idea to put such an option in.

So if you, one of the more prolific Twitter users has around 15k messages and that adds up to about 3MB, then understand that on some really mediocre storage of 1TB, twitter can store that much for 300k prolific users. Mind you, this assumes that every prolific user spits out a message that is chock full at 160 chars. None of this takes into account the overhead of packing it into mySQL or other database.

I think users such as yourself are using less space than you think and I'd guess you can fit closer to 1M users in there. Since you're somewhere special on the bell curve, you can be sure that you're not representative of the average Twitter user, and the average user is taking up less than 10% of that space. Many have abandoned accounts or under utilize their accounts as we perceive it.

Seeing as how I as a home user (not an average one) have a server with a hardware-RAID mirrored 1TB array, I assume that a venture like Twitter has at least 5TB at their disposal and that this is not a problem for them. As storage prices continue to fall, you can be sure their storage will have grown while they now have to consider geographically diversifying their infrastructure to allow for quicker access times from around the globe, and a little redundancy in case of "events" like we see today in India.

Speaking of direct messages, is there a way to keyword search all of my direct messages, without going to twitter.com and hitting the previous button a gazillion times?

LOL - you think 15K 140 character messages is even a blip of space? That's bunny rabbits!

I agree with the occasional lack of a trash basket. That's annoying. I also agree with Chris' original post here. It's the same gripe I've had since I started using Twitter.

Another thing I'd like to see is "newer / older" links at the top of the timeline. The ones at the bottom are handy, but having the same thing at the top would go a long way, especially when reading three or four pages of tweets.

Would also like an option to choose whether we see 10, 20, 30, or 50 (or whatever) tweets per page!

I don't think we should have to rely on outside scripts to get Twitter to do what we want or need it to do.

Hi Chris

Well if you've got 15500 direct messages just sitting there then I'm guessing it'll be unlikely you'll see mine. So instead I thought I'd just post a comment here to say we follow each other on Twitter so we'd like to check you're aware your site is mobilized by Mippin?

www.mippin.com/web/getMippi...

You could customise / brand / insert advertising / promote it too, but reckon you'll need all your spare time to deal with 15500 direct messages. Feel free to post one to us though - I deleted our last 15500 last week ;)
