CLOSED: [2018-01-21 Sun 10:49] SCHEDULED: <2018-01-21 Sun> :PROPERTIES: :CREATED: [2018-01-21 Sun 10:32] :ID: 2018-01-21-google-sort-term-memory :END: :LOGBOOK: - State "DONE" from "NEXT" [2018-01-21 Sun 10:49] :END: For all those people saying "I don't maintain a bookmark collection because when I re-access, Google will find it" I do have bad news: as it turns out - by evidence, not by proof - [[https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2018/01/15/Google-is-losing-its-memory][Google does not index older parts of the Web]]. From a technical perspective, this is absolutely understandable. However, from the viewpoint of an ordinary user who expects Google to remember or locate everything, this is a pity because it is a false assumption. Either you maintain [[id:2014-08-10-bookmarks-with-orgmode][an easy-to-use collection of bookmarks by yourself]] or you switch to [[https://duckduckgo.com/][different search engines who still find older stuff]].
