      Wait, am I supposed to be the Playback Machine senior developer? If so, then yes, Kickstarter. Also, it should have all the features and do all the things. If not then, um, disregard this I guess. 🙂

            Sounds good, but we should probably make a demo first. We're going to need a lot of data, so let me just download the Internet real quick. I'll let you know when that's done.

              Ha ha. Actually grabbing Facebook, Twitter and SW data would be easy and a good demo.

              I've got a code base for SW data harvesting so we have a starting point.

                Do people want to know this stuff? In 2006 I was listening to Britney Spears on Spotify, watching a funny cat video on YouTube and arguing with somebody about England's best midfielder on some forum. In 2007 I was....largely doing the same...In 2008 ditto....

                I don't wanna know!

                  It's about social archeology. It's data about yourself that you've never been able to mine before.

                    But CB has a point.. Just because we can mine for it, do we really want to?

                    Granted there are things I've done in the past I would like to be reminded to do again or follow up on, etc.. but an entire archive of everything - I think I'd get lost/bored and just move on.

                      It's about being able to recreate history. Help to keep from losing perspective. Provide something to the next generation.

                          So, what about something where you can manage your online history? I mean obviously you cannot remove anything technically, but for most average people it's quite possible to edit/remove old forum posts, accounts, etc.

                          Honestly I'm sure there's registrations for all sorts of things I haven't used in years across my emails that I'd like to peek at.

                          (In brainstorming mode.)

                            That's a lot more complex. Making a social media management meta application would be tons of work compared to collecting and displaying the data.

                              Sounds like a pretty interesting idea to me. I could see it being really interesting to look back and see what you have done and when. I use that feature in Foursquare sometimes and it is really interesting and that is a lot more limited.

                                My thought process was that I might see something and think "You know, that Myspace comment from 2004 shouldn't exist." and it'd be nice to have a little trashcan icon to take care of it.

                                  Maybe. It's a neat idea. But would get really complicated really quickly and will confuse people when some sites retain that data anyway.

                                    @scottalanmiller That's a good point, I should distinguish between features I would enjoy/understand and ones that are hypothetically possible to actually make it to production-playback-machine. Which, is already in pretty hypothetical territory. 😛

                                      Yeah. Pretty hypothetical. I think a basic playback history machine is enough for now. Being an aggregator is one thing. Being a "manage your life" thing is another.

                                        Plus, I'm sure there's already a few thousand "manage your online presence" click-baits taking up that niche haha.

                                          True. Security is very pop.
