Thought I'd add this for people to have a look at. This is an
automated
snapshot archive of the BBC's homepage and news homepage.
http://www.webcoding.co.uk/bbc-home-archive
Very nice. In a similar vein http://hanzoweb.com allows you to create
browseable archives of (collections of) arbitrary webpages. You can
also tag the archives and share them with others. You can sign up for
a free account on the site and grab a bookmarklet but, more
interestingly, we've just launched an open API at ETech this week.
It's early days and not guaranteed stable yet although we are trying
to start with a small relatively stable core and slowly expand from
there.
What we have at the moment will let you programmatically submit a
crawl job, check its status and retrieve the archived page(s). The
api documentation and a page to request a key will be going up on the
site in the next week or so but feel free to drop me a mail off list
(peter dot ferne at hanzoweb dot com) to request a key before then if
you'd like to have a play around.
For the BBC staffers on the list we will also be presenting at one of
George Auckland's Digital Media University lunchtime sessions on Fri
24 Mar at 14:30.
