Remove A Tweet...?

Hi Guys,

Had a client raise a question/situation today. They have the twitter addon installed which on their site runs on a cron every hour. They posted a tweet this morning that was fetched and subsequently stored on the Perch database and displayed on the website. The client then deleted this tweet from their twitter account, but this remains in the database and on the site - I guess as it has been fetched it will remain, as it is not a two way sync.

However, I wondered if it would be possible/sensible to have the facility within Perch to actually manually delete/remove the tweet as well. Then the client can remove it if they need to.

Also on the subject of this is it necessary to keep all tweets in the DB - especially if in this instance you only want to show the latest ones on the homepage? Again perhaps a setting to run a clean up to remove old tweets after a set period if you want to.

Look forward to your thoughts...

Thanks, Terry

I'll note it as a suggestion.
