LOC to Store All Tweets for Posterity

I heard a story on NPR outlining Library of Congress' plan to archive all of Twitter as an important source document of our time.

It occurred to me that what would be far more useful to future historians is some proof of our near-absolute inability to discern what is meaningful. A better source document to archive might be a short wire story with a headline like, "Twitter's Entire Archive Headed to the Library of Congress."
