Archivists are racing to preserve Google+ before it shuts down next month.
In a post on Reddit, the Archive Team announced its mission to preserve and backup Google+ content to the Internet Archive. Google will commence the shutdown of its failed social network project on April 2.
According to the archivists, only public Google+ posts will be saved. Private posts and posts that have previously been deleted will not be archived. If a Google+ user does not want their content archived, the team behind the project recommends putting in a request to remove specific pages with the Internet Archive.
Well, this would be good news and I'm thinking in the interests of preserving all sorts of Internet history (like your first ever website back in the day) I hope that Internet Archives maintains sufficient funding to keep going for many decades and longer.
