Software to recreate a banned Twitter account?

[pierremarc]

Is anybody aware of a software that would allow someone to "recreate" a banned Twitter account? What I mean is that before you get banned you use the software to regularly back-up your tweets and who you follow, and then, after you get banned, you create a new account and use the software to automatically restore all your tweets and the ones you followed.

Your solution is two-part:

1. Backing up tweets
2. Replaying them

For number one, it's easiest to just have an RSS reader subscribe to your twitter feed and save that somewhere. The benefit of using RSS is that it serializes it in a format that lots of other software can read/write (it's all XML). Unfortunately, Twitter doesn't offer RSS directly from their site, so you have to use something like TwitRSS.me

Alternatively, you can request a backup of your tweets from your twitter account.

For number two, it's a little bit more difficult. If you have any development experience, you could use Twitter's API to post all your old tweets.
