I opened my first twitter account and I am getting the feel of it.

I see I can delete entries.

So if I delete an article on my web site wouldn't be better to delete
the tweets related to it in my twitter account?

So basically I would do the following:
1. Create a table on my database named ArticlesTweets with the
following columns:
    Guid ArticleID
    Int TweetID

2. Every time an article is Created or Updated I would create a tweet
with Article's Title + Article's TinyUrl.
    I then receive the StatusId and create a new record in
ArticlesTweets.

    There is only one problem here:
    Consider I create an article but after i created i see i made an
error on the title.
    So i go correct it ... with this approach my twitter account would
get two tweets: the right and the wrong.
    I am not exactly sure how to put this on ... any idea?

3. If an article is deleted I would get all TweetsIds from
ArticlesTweets table for the given ArticleId.
    Then I would destroy those tweets.

What do you think about this approach?

My problem is really the update to solve the problem ...
