Scary how there can be so much information about people “lingering” on the Internet, forgotten, misplaced and unconnected…

I recently came across udntgtme.blogspot.com, the website for a spoof band - udntgtme - that me, Steve, Andy and Chris formed for a day back in Sixth Form. I had completely forgotten this existed, and the only reason I realised is because I stumbled across on the images in my web server space. As if that wasn’t enough, I noticed a flash slideshow of photos (click Read More on this post to see it!) and wondered how it was being powered, turns out I have a flickr account as well! I wonder how many other things there are like this “lying around” on the internet, and how would I find them? In our so-called throwaway culture we are even throwing away websites and online accounts, polluting the www with redundant and out of date content.
