For performance issues Twitter doesn't allow you to fetch beyond 3200
tweets. I just provide a simpler interface instead of click “more” the whole
time.

This is amazing, but is there any way you can extend the number of pages it can go back? I just used the site and it only goes back as far as I could go clicking “MORE” on my Twitter profile did until it wouldn't let me anymore.

It is pretty much ducktaped together, not using official API to do it and so forth. But I'll see. Maybe, I'll open source it.

Ah, I see now… It also seems to be plagued by the 3200 tweets issue. It can only go back to your 3200 tweets. As said here: http://blog.twitter.com/2008/09/time-travel-and...

Thanks for letting me know. I'll update it quickly. I wonder if there is a work-around. Probably not.
