Facebook gets a Flickr worth of photos every few days.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoAs someone who subscribes to ArchiveTeam's philosophy, it's going to be a dark day when the time comes to scrape Facebook before it goes under with that much data behind the scenes.
- zeckalpha 11y agoIt's already backed up to Blueray. They'll just hand it over.
- ivank 11y agoYeah, right. How and who exactly would they hand that over to, given that there are privacy settings on the photos that people expect to have respected?
- BtM909 11y agoSarcasm son....
- ivank 11y agoYou'd be surprised at how many people assume these bigcos are open to doing the right thing when they're shutting down.
- dx211 11y agoHey, I've still got my complimentary MySpace zip file kicking around somewhere.
- jsmeaton 11y agoI had a hard drive crash on me with all of my photos some years back and my "backup" strategy failed. Dumping a myspace backup got me some of my most precious photos back. Thanks MySpace!
- ArekDymalski 11y agoEven more. Most people don't even realize that things like FB aren't eternal.
- nl 11y agoIt isn't even clear what "the right thing" is here.
- fao_ 11y agoI wonder if this system could be used for 'burns'. Such as: "Hacker News has an Ask dot com userbase of number of good posters" (This obviously does not include me ;))
- limeyx 11y agoHow many VW Bugs is that ?
