- I got the response from Lexis/Nexis re the mapping of radio.weblogs.com, doc.weblogs.com and scoble.weblogs.com. Here's what they said.#
#- "During a recent security audit related to the GDPR, we removed the DNS entries for doc.weblogs.com, radio.weblogs.com , and scoble.weblogs.com . We had concerns about cross-domain issues such as cookie sharing, along with general concerns about having subdomains that were not under our control. At this point, the only suggestion we can make is for you to update the links on scripting.com to point to the newer domain names that are under your control."#
- Of course it's not just links from scripting.com that are broken. Radio UserLand was a large early blogging community. Links into the archive of these weblogs are also broken.#
- The sites are still on the web, but at this address:#
- That isn't going to change in the immediate future. #
- Also thanks to Automattic for hosting the archive of the Radio UserLand sites.#
- We will have to do something special for doc.weblogs.com.#
- And you can access Scoble's Radio blog at scoble.scripting.com. That's a completely new name, there are no links to it anywhere on the net (except here of course).#
- Earlier today I wrote about making the web more long-lived. This is how the web's history disappears. A cut here another one there, sooner or later, it'll all be gone. #
