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.

I'm not aware of any app-archiving work (though many have acknowledged it's a problem). We have looked at paywalls in the archivehttps://ws-dl.blogspot.com/2018/03/2018-03-15-paywalls-in-internet-archive.html …

While services like
@APKMirror are doing a good job of archiving apps that can later be replayed in phone emulators, they are missing the content and data aspect of apps without which the experience would be anything but complete.

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.
