Yahoo TimeCapsule
I would like to let you know a new interesting project by Jonathan Harris promoted by Yahoo: Time Capsule ( some screenshots I made are also available ).
Its intended as an antropological experiment suited to teach future generations what the world was like in 2006.
The idea is collect and share experiences among users collecting their contributions till November 8th and store data till 2020.
I also suggest to have a look to TheTimeWhen, a project launched last year regarding sharing and relating personal facts to world history events.
It seems to me that an interesting new trend is emerging from the social networks and softwares: create a common, shared, persistent, global digital memory.
