What we're doing on our websites this week
Own Your Links
Tantek Γelik has added redirects from /twitter/* to twitter links
- see own your links for more about what, why, how for such redirects
- They can later be replaced with static pages of tweet archives
- lost_sites
- External links on blog posts: to redirect to the Internet Archive or to not redirect?
- Owning your links: own_your_links
- New script for WordPress users from jwz which is Waybackify - sets links on posts older than 5 years to a base of the Internet Archive
Plain Text

- Reasoning: accessibility and allowing for easy reading in the command line
