Accessing the Web of the Past
The Internet of today is effectively infinite: a universe of more than 1 trillion unique pages, expanding by 200 million tweets every day and by 24 hours of YouTube video every minute.
However, the Internet of yesterday is in danger of being lost forever as nearly all of its early content is gone because no one thought to preserve it.
A special section of this month's newsletter highlights an initiative called the Memento Project that tracks the Internet over time and whose goal is to archive the World Wide Web properly, so that one can revisit it anytime.
Additional articles in this month's issue include:
