Let’s say you want to read what Scott Adams wrote yesterday on the Dilbert Blog before he decided to delete it (it’s not like you have a choice, anyhow). There’s a simple solution which doesn’t involve time travel or searching the internet for “deleted dilbertblog post”: Sign up with a popular web-based feed reader (aggregator) like Bloglines.com or Google Reader and voilà:
This raises a lot of terribly interesting questions like “are the aggregators stealing from Scott by caching a post he later deleted” and “are they morally obligated to do so in order to feed his starving readers”, but I’m already torn between enjoying the fantastic weather outside or playing with my new Wii so I’ll leave these issues to you.
