Yesterday @USATODAY ran a fact check story about a fake Obama tweet screenshot being shared on social media. Author @SadeghiMckenzie could not find any mementos of this tweet in @internetarchive. #webarchiving

This is an example of one of the points @phonedude_mln and I made in a @WebSciDL blog post last weekend: screenshots of tweets can be faked. To prove existence, one needs to link to #webarchives. Even better if they link to #MultipleWebArchives.

And even better if they can use Robust Links to help readers find evidence of the tweet in #MultipleWebArchives.

@WebSciDL

In addition to the excellent tools from the tweeted picture, there are many #webarchiving tools in development by @WebSciDL and the @LosAlamosNatLab Research Library Prototeam.

@LosAlamosNatLab

Ever wonder which archives have a capture of a given URL? What about for a specific time? Do you want to search multiple #webarchives at once?

The Memento TimeTravel service run by @LosAlamosNatLab uses the #Memento protocol for just that: timetravel.mementoweb.org
