#waybackmachine from @internetarchive has some old (2004) captures of my flickr page, like this one: web.archive.org/web/2004103011

The nostalgia is strong: the eternal "beta" status, the .gne links, the ludicorp footer..

Flickr was my first real 'social web' experience. I met lifelong friends through #flickr and, through one of those friends, my now wife.

MARTHA STEWART BAKING DECEPTION
feat: the wayback machine

A short story.

My wife makes delicious coconut macaroons for Passover every year. A friend sent her the recipe years ago and she pulled it up again this year to reference. It seemed off to her. The condensed milk was missing... She questioned herself to the point of making them without condensed milk, and sure enough they were different.

We plugged the site into the wayback machine and what do you know? MARTHA CHANGED THE RECIPE! Worse yet, the recipe says it was last updated in 2021, but the wayback machine proves that it has been updated at least once since 2023 TO REMOVE CONDENSED MILK 🕵️

DECEPTION!

"According to Graham, based on the big jump in page views he's observed over the past two months, the Internet Archive is drawing many more visitors than usual to its services — journalists, researchers and other inquiring minds. Some want to consult the archive for information lost or changed in the purge, while others aim to contribute to the archival process.

"There's a groundswell of support for the Internet Archive because of the dramatic shift that's going on in parts of the government web infrastructure that you wouldn't imagine would change," said Brewster Kahle, the founder and current director of the Internet Archive. "People are coming and rallying behind us — by using it, by pointing at things, helping organize things, by submitting content to be archived — data sets that are under threat or have been taken down."

Nancy Krieger, a social epidemiologist at Harvard University who likened the purge to "a digital book burning" in a February interview with NPR's Ailsa Chang, is one of them. She's teamed up with other scientists to try to preserve federal health data that has recently disappeared from government websites. She helped develop a list of terms to send to the Internet Archive to aid the search and preservation effort.

"We want to preserve public health data that are crucial for people's well-being," she told NPR."

Last week in Leiden, Brewster Kahle was presented with the 2024 ProjectUil by the Dutch Wikipedia community. He explained how the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has helped fix millions of broken links, ensuring citations on Wikipedia remain valid and accessible across multiple language editions.

Update. "As the Trump administration purges web pages, this group is rushing to save them"
npr.org/2025/03/23/nx-s1-53265

"After President Trump's inauguration in January, some federal web pages vanished. While…were removed entirely, many came back online with changes that…officials said were made to conform to Trump's executive orders to remove "diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility policies." Thousands of datasets were wiped — mostly at agencies focused on science and the environment…Information about climate change, reproductive health, gender identity and sexual orientation also have been on the chopping block…The #InternetArchive [@internetarchive] is among the few efforts that exist to catch the stuff that falls through the digital cracks, while also making that information accessible to the public. Six weeks into the new administration, #WaybackMachine director Graham said, the Internet Archive had cataloged some 73,000 web pages that had existed on U.S. government websites that were expunged after Trump's inauguration."
