Index all documents, posts, blogs, tweets Create a spreadsheet, including: Publish date Forum: Twitter, Facebook, a blog, etc. Actual content Include links to web sites Create a spreadsheet, including: Publish date Forum: Twitter, Facebook, a blog, etc. Actual content Include links to web sites

Don’t be an Anthony Weiner If you delete something on Twitter, Facebook and a blog after you have posted it, you may still be obligated to provide it if someone requests a record. Just ask Anthony Weiner. It doesn ’ t work anyway.
