On the Eighth Day of Christmas

I hope everyone had a happy New Year! I think a good resolution for the new year might be to get back to more of a regular posting frequency here on asisaid. There is something good about the discipline of regularly posting to a blog. Sometimes, the opportunity to quickly share things on Facebook has a tendency to lead me away from posting as regularly here, but really I ought to aim to post more here instead, since my blog posts appear on Facebook, anyway.

I sometimes wonder what will happen in five or ten years to all of the data so many of us have put on Facebook. Unlike data on sites we control, will it eventually just fade away? Given that increasingly important information is sent through the service, that could actually be quite unfortunate down the road.
