Blog aims to record everyday life

BBC News posts in Blog aims to record everyday life how thousands of people across Britain are expected to contribute to a project aiming to create an online archive of a day in the life of the country. Sounds like a real blog-project?! The story is...

'The National Trust is encouraging people to record a diary of their day on a website, as part of what is being called "Britain's biggest blog". The blogs will then be stored by the British Library and at other locations.

The trust says it will create a "fascinating social history archive" of everyday life for future generations. Tuesday has been picked as an "ordinary day much like any other of no particular national significance". National Trust director general Fiona Reynolds said: "We want this day to have its own place in history and be a snapshot of everyday life at the beginning of the 21st Century.'

I wonder if soon most of our days can/will be recorded in similar ways - snapshots for the future - Life Caching
