Delete, Delete ,Delete....

Came across 'Tweleted' last night.
It's a Twitter app designed to retrieve deleted tweets.

Yeah that's pretty cool, you may be thinking, such a neat way to get back anything you've accidentally deleted....This at first was my train of thought but the more i thought about it i came to realise just what a 'tweevil' thing this actually is.

To delete a tweet takes 2 clicks, one to press delete the next to confirm that deletion, How the hell do you do that by accident?!
I myself have deleted a few tweets,probably down to bad spelling or just the fact that i totally changed my mind....something i have a right to do.
I cant remember why exactly i deleted them but that's what i did, pressed delete in the hope that they would never be seen again.

Dictionary def of delete =To remove by striking out or canceling, remove or make invisible

So now I'm wondering why my deleted tweets are still in the system and able to be retrieved? Why are they still assigned to search tags? and who exactly is using and abusing Tweleted?

We all say things we don't mean, drunken rants, bad mood tweets.
In that crazy 20 secs that you forget all you do is public and write something like

'My job sucks. boss is a wanker, his wife's hot though wouldn't mind giving her one!'

Then you rightly so think better of it,delete it and forget all about it....until Monday comes and the boss calls you in his office, shows you the tweet that he's printed out and tells you your services are no longer required :/

I was going to delete the tweet i wrote linking to Tweleted but now don't really see the point!
