The collective memory of the web

Whatever happened to Emese’s photo blog? All of a sudden, she disappeared from the net without a word or a trace, after her web site had been idle for months. Sad. It was very inspiring to look at her great photography skills. But it’s the nature of the Web, that things come and go, just like in real life.

Somebody should permanently store every web site out there for future reference. Actually, Waybackmachine.org does a good job in that regard, but they often do not have complete web sites stored, only snippets (and I can see the challenge in actually archiving every single web site for real). But I like to think of the web as a sort of collective memory for the people using it. Like peeking inside ‘the brain of the World’. I know, in order for that philosophy to work, everybody on the planet should have access to the Internet, but, hey - it’s a start. What is sad is that sometimes good things disappear for good, or some great things are never discovered. But that, again, also goes for real life, i guess…
