What's the average lifespan of a web page?
I found loads of references to the 2011 @librarycongress article that says 100 days...
Except it doesn't say that! It says references a study in *2003* which concluded that.

We indeed met last year, placed a
#Memento sticker on@dietrich's already over crowded laptop, shared a taxi together, and had some great conversations on various topics. Read the story of the#DWebSummit and associated events on our@WebSciDL blog.https://ws-dl.blogspot.com/2018/11/2018-11-08-decentralized-web-summit.html … -
That seems so long ago... I've since left Mozilla and am working at Protocol Labs now, on IPFS!

Yeah, it's easier to use that number. I think everyone listens to the caveats about sample bias, high std dev, sites vs URLs, etc. and then decide "so, 100 days is it?" ;-)

Hm, is the "age of a web page" question itself a relic of the pre-app internet era? In terms of knowledge loss, how relevant is web page archival in a time where so much human activity has moved into walled gardens? Is there contemporary research in this area?

Loading seems to be taking a while.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
Our projects (IPFS/Filecoin) often reference that dubious+ancient 100 day number, so I want to replace with more contemporary research.
