I mean, it's like he doesn't do a bit of convenient necro-deletion on his blog posts, like this one for example:


--- Quote ---If for any reason we fall short of expectations we have set in the market, I will be the first person in line to admit it and then to immediately fund Meredith’s next company.

--- End quote ---

--- End quote ---

Do you have a link for where he claims to do that? As far as I know, that "mega purge" on Oct 1st last year (shortly after Perry's publicized departure from uBeam), was the first time he'd done that. If the first reference to his deletions is then or later, then something smells. While I've no evidence any which way, so purely speculation, whenever I see someone retroactively change and mass delete, I always think "Something in there made them legally vulnerable, and so they've mass deleted to both cover for what it is, and avoid further liability. Reputationally liable they'd selectively delete."

StillTrying:
There are a few twitter mentions of purge.

it hard to say what could become a liability a year from now, people end up in a shit storm for using the wrong word in
a tweet years ago

Other than the fact that the internet doesn't forget...  Even when you "delete" a tweet.  :)

It's because he wants the social currency that goes along with having a high profile twitter account, but doesn't want the long term accountability.
