Hmm, interesting article Peter.  To put it bluntly I am from the "why bother to archive/preserve the Internet/www" school of thought. Preservation of www serves no commercial or cultural purpose. Or am I missing something? Thoughts anyone?

If there's one thing the Internet loves, it's what's new this very instant. Every day, data is deleted from websites and refreshed with whatever's new.

With each scrubbing, key parts of our cultural history are wiped from cyberspace. It's hard to imagine now, but one day, webpages containing Rebecca Black's cringe-worthy "Friday" music video will be gone. Same with Charlie Schmidt's keyboard-playing cat. And same with a million other touchstone Internet moments of our times.
