It's unfortunate that we have to rely on Google. Imagine an ongoing, distributed project to cache the web. Volunteers could keep tabs on a subset of corporate and personal web pages and cache old versions when changes are made. Rewriting history becomes that much harder. And it's certainly a better use of computers than seti@home.

This is actually an excellent application front end for a Mojo Nation type

system, as the data is redundant and distributed.

You get an interesting recursion problem arising - does your 'memory of the web' site include sites which contain archives for the purpose of being 'memory of the web'? Shades of Godel....

Since the Mojo space is not included within those of the Web how would this recursion take place? steve
