Losing the webs heritage

February 25th, 2010 jlumsden No comments

A recent BBC news article about the British Library highlights the problems they are facing trying to archive the internet due to an absurd legal situation. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8535384.stm

This bring up the old adage that everything you put on the web COULD be there forever, so always be careful of what you say. They are looking to store everything from personal websites to blogs, but is it right that everything should be automatically archived, or should they have to asked your permission first? leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

 Visit the UK Web Archive and see if anything you have done is in there for future generations: http://www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/
