As I was remembering my old dad, I posted something about him on Twitter. This was reposted by a couple of others and spotted by a colleague of his, who took a moment to exchange a brief, 140-character memory with me.

This encounter highlights two key things about memory in the digital age. First, that more and more ephemera seems to be kept online – accidentally or otherwise. Second, that memories are becoming increasingly public – social, even.
