I'm glad to see someone else echoing my anxiety. I had the impression that Uniform Resource Locators were meant to be treated as bookmarks into a web of knowledge, so it's like brain damage when they break. It's too bad it happens so frequently, because for a few blissful years my urge to hoard was quieted by the assumption that the internet was doing it for me.
Those enormous URLs that describe nothing but a document GUID are also a sin.
- kristopolous 11y agoI made a service called http://rt2.me http://rt2.me which tries to semantic-ify the URLs ... but I seem to be the only one that likes it.
- mercer 11y agoI've resorted to capturing every single interesting link as a complete HTML page to DEVONthink, which is a mac application specifically meant for storing large amounts of data. It's already proven quite handy in two ways: 1. I can access articles that have disappeared off the net 2. I have a very powerful search function and 'similarity engine' constrained to only the information I've found useful so far. It's often the first place I look for certain kinds of information before I try google. I can strongly recommend using such a tool to make sure you don't 'lose' stuff on the internet that is important to you.
