I was just going through my Liferea feeds list today, and noticed about half a dozen blogs that had died. Domains don&#8217;t resolve any longer, they&#8217;ve decided to stop blogging (and remove their blog posts), and so on. Highly annoying, seeing that I have bookmarked some of these sites in <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/\">del.icio.us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d pay a reasonable sum for del.icio.us (say, like how I pay for my Flickr Pro account) to take snapshots of the page when I add it to my del.icio.us feed. Something like a cache (like one from your competitor in search, Google Cache; heck even your search engine caches pages!). If I visit the link again via del.icio.us, it will ideally update (via a smart diff) the snapshot, if there&#8217;s new content. However, if the content is gone, I&#8217;ll always have the original snapshot to refer to.<\/p>\n<p>I know I can muck around with Google Cache or even the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/web\/web.php\">Internet Archive<\/a>, but its just added work. Worse, sometimes blog entries aren&#8217;t cached in either :(<\/p>\n<p>Hope you implement something like this in the very near future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kind Regards,<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Colin, long-time del.icio.us user<\/p>\n<p>Technorati Tags: <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/del.icio.us\" rel=\"tag\">del.icio.us<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/yahoo%21\" rel=\"tag\">yahoo!<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/suggestion\" rel=\"tag\">suggestion<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/cached%20pages\" rel=\"tag\">cached pages<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/snapshot\" rel=\"tag\">snapshot<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/del.icio.us%20pro\" rel=\"tag\">del.icio.us pro<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Yahoo!, Things on the Internet die way too quickly.
