Heard about this on npr this morning, although the story doesn't appear to 
have been posted on their website yet.

"Perma.cc is a service, currently in beta, that allows users to create 
citation links that will never break.

When a user creates a Perma.cc link, Perma.cc archives a copy of the 
referenced content, and generates a link to an unalterable hosted instance 
of the site. Regardless of what may happen to the original source, if the 
link is later published by a journal using the Perma.cc service, the 
archived version will always be available through the Perma.cc link.

Readers who click on a Perma.cc link are taken to a page that lets them 
choose to go to the original site (which may have changed since the link 
was created) or see the archived copy of the site in its original state.

Perma.cc is an online preservation service developed by the Harvard Law 
School Library in conjunction with university law libraries across the 
country and other organizations in the ?forever? business."
