Importing, Backing Up, and Exporting Twitter Status'

First, here's what I've found that is already doing the export, it allows you to export your contacts as a CSV file... http://bradkellett.com/tweetdumpr/ (limited to the first 250 most recent status updates). It's still very limiting.

However there is a problem that is not addressed. How do you import what you've exported? It makes sense you can't doing anything with your exports if you can't import them anywhere.

In addition to importing the status, this function should keep the date/time of the original twitter status, that's part of what makes twitter powerful.

An alternative solution to the problem....
Another solution to this is Twitter creates an tool that functions internally to allow the importing from from one account to another keeping the dates and times legit (and whatever other tracking information) as Twitter doesn't want bad information to be imported. I see this as a awesome tool for anyone changing account usernames, or making a backup of their Twitter status. That's my reason for becoming interested in this topic.

I would highly recommend Twitter working on this or a tool similar to this.
