Part of the appeal of Twitter is it's fast-paced nature, but sometimes there are tidbits of wisdom in those 140 character messages that are lost all too fast. However, Permanent140 is a service that helps to preserve tweets in the form of a small metal or wooden plaque.
Permanent140 produces hard copies of gems like "Life exists in the delicate balance between not enough coffee and too much whiskey," which is formalized by including the tweeter's username, full name, plus the time and date it was released into the world. If you think you're particularly witty, you could even start to profit from what you share on Twitter, since the Permanent140 shop gives 25% of the purchase price back to the user credited on the plaque.
