Founder of Kippt here. We also pull in links from favorited tweets (not all but should probably add that as well) but unlike Pinboard we don't save the actual tweet content, only links referenced in tweet. New API terms are a bit unsure and I'm interested to hear about Twitter's reply to Pinboard.

It's definitely confusing. I'm not sure what the best strategy for tweet archiving is. They might cut Pinboard off at some time, and they might disallow services that post on your behalf like Buffer.

Personally, I use https://github.com/sferik/t to archive my posts, as well as Pinboard.

Co-Founder of Buffer here. Great discussion, I hope I can clarify on the Buffer part. The key difference to the way Buffer + Kippt are working is that Kippt pulls in these updates before they are posted. So it is essentially an interplay between people adding updates and Kippt pulling these before they even hit Twitter and Facebook. Hope that clarifies.
