Previously, ArchiveTeam, a specialized organization that archives websites, completed the archiving of 'goo.gl.' According to published data, the number of items was 3.75 billion, amounting to 286.57
ArchiveTeam was founded by Jason Scott, an American archivist who also works as an actor and film director, and has previously been involved in the partial or complete preservation of Geocities, Yahoo! Video, Google Video, TwitPic, and other sites.
'AchiveTeam was born out of a sense of anger and helplessness, of sitting idly by while corporations decided what would survive and what would die,' Scott said. 'It's not our job to judge what's valuable or meaningful. We operate on three virtues: rage, obsession, and kleptomania.'
The activities of ArchiveTeam, which aims to preserve websites and web services, appear to share some similarities with the Internet Archive. HackerNews user creatonez explains the difference: ' ArchiveTeam provides handcrafted scripts to proactively archive specific sites that are nearing extinction, prioritizing what the community considers to be most at risk and important. In contrast, the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine crawls broadly without any specific rules or priorities.' wlonkly adds, ' ArchiveTeam is like a bucket brigade carrying books from a burning library, while the Internet Archive provides a place to put them .'
In the case of 'goo.gl,' only shortened URLs that were not confirmed to be in use as of the end of 2024 will stop responding, but active shortened URLs will continue to be available.
