Did you create this post manually or automagically? I would be interested in a WP plugin for this feature if it exists.

I go to search.twitter.com and search for “from:andrew_chen http” and just copy and paste everything. Takes like 10 minutes. I agree it'd be nice to have something automagically do it though
Maybe worth writing the code at some point.
