Archiving tweets is surely useful, cf. http://archive.org/details/archiveteam-json-twitterstream-2012. An archive.org item with "wikitweets" in whatever format you grab them in (JSON? RSS?) should be quite trivial to do, and much appreciated.
Good idea. I hadn't thought of using archive.org for this, and have been actually looking for an excuse to upload something to archive.org. Relying on the local filesystem on heroku is somewhat problematic [1], so I will probably need to run this archiving process elsewhere. Perhaps I'll get it running in wikimedia labs. Thanks for the suggestion!
