In the video you're talking about what you store, but I don't quite understand. You store my tweets? All my friends' tweets? Why? Can I export them from your system? Delete them later on? What happens when I close my account?

yes we index your tweets so you can search them. if you never come back to the site we stop indexing them.

You can revoke access to the app from here http://twitter.com/account/connections

We don't yet support full delete of all history, but it's on our list.

Also, we are adding support for an api so you can interact with the site/export your history programatically.
