Forget me not

The chief executive of the British Library Lynne Brindley believes we are in danger of losing our hyperlinked memory.  The World Wide Web is a very dynamic environment with new websites being created and old websites fading into the abyss.  The most recent example of this environment is the addition of Obama's White House web site but the complete annihilation of George W. Bush's old White House web site.  How can we perserve our online memory?  The British Library is already taking steps cataloging and storing the web content created for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.  However, can we really ctrl+s the entire World Wide Web?  According to worldwidewebsize.com, there are approximately 25.19 billion indexed pages on the World Wide Web.  Brindley brings up an interesting point.  This post will be my 320th post, but in a few years, will my blog entries go the way of former president's web presence?
