Are you someone who cites to the internet a lot? The web's a wonderful resource but can be more fragile than you think. Anyone working in #academia, #journalism, #legaltech- any industry that depends on reliable citations should be on the offense against #linkrot, Perma can help!

Pleased to be spreading the word about link rot on CBC Radio! Our new research shows that the legal record is not the only thing vulnerable to the decaying web.
You may not know it by name, but you've probably experienced "link rot."
Well, what's just a minor inconvenience to most of us presents an immense challenge for archivists trying to preserve the record of life in the digital age, says @clare__stanton.

New research shows how many important links on the web get lost to time trib.al/gng71Uz

Completely true. Election links and COVID data dashboards rot all too quickly unless proactively archived at the time of linking.

🔗🔗@john_bowers_, @clare__stanton, and @zittrain explore the substantial link rot and content drift found on the New York Times, exposing the fragility of the Web and the need for new practices, workflows, and technologies. Learn more via @CJR: cjr.org/analysis/linkrot-con…

Thrilled to share important new link rot study by colleagues @zittrain @john_bowers_ and @clare__stanton, published in the Columbia Journalism Review, which examines the entire NYT digital corpus and finds ... you guessed it ... a bunch of rotten links. cjr.org/analysis/linkrot-con…
We partnered with the @nytimes to understand the scope & nature of #linkrot in their online publication.
Thank you to their team for their partnership & willingness to explore this important topic in digital journalism!

Darn it. 🥴
When link rot is in play, the early bird still does not get the worm.
[Another reminder of @permacc's value.]

"Everyone from scholars to Supreme Court justices has debated footnotes vs. endnotes, and online writing has incorporated hyperlinks as a hassle-free way of citing sources, albeit not one without flaws." 👀pst, we have one solution for that!

WACZ format allows for efficient, self-hosted web archives, but how do you trust archives hosted anywhere?
We're looking for feedback on a proposal for WARC (and WACZ) signing and verification (via a trusted 3rd party):
