How can I look on someone's timeline on twitter and search a particular time? - Ivvy Wilson - 10-01-2012 10:08 PM
If there are any websites that can help me with this, i'm open to suggestions.
I don't mind if i can just search my own timeline on twitter, but I have to search to see a particular time on the timeline.

I think you can just scroll back as far as it lets you.

Did you know that your tweets have an expiration date on them?
While they never really disappear from your own Twitter stream, they become unsearchable in only a matter of days. At first, Twitter held onto your tweets for around a month, but as the service grew more popular, this "date limit" has dramatically shortened. According to Twitter's search documentation, the current date limit on the search index is "around 1.5 weeks but is dynamic and subject to shrink as the number of tweets per day continues to grow."
You need to use some other strategies to archive tweets if you really need them longer than that.
