Going through the Archive

Going through my own archive is a time-consuming event. Seeing all that mail-art from the 80-ies and 90-ies again, and realizing that nowadays the Internet is an even larger archive. My BLOG has been online for 11 months now. Especially in the last months IU have put a lot online. On a search-engine like Google I can even see all the entries, and the number of visitors is substancial. How long will this digital archive live? Google owns the BLOG's and they aren't asking money for it. But when it gets popular the advertisings will be added. Some collegue bloggers already added the Google-adds and hope to make some money this way. For me this makes the blog less interesting. And eventually all information will be....... where?

A solution is to get rid of Blogger and make your own - ad free - blog, using a weblog tool such as Greymatter or Pivot, or another
