Blog aims to record everyday life
October 16th, 2006

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, reports the BBC.

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.

I just can’t see the value in this.

There are thousands (millions?) of people in Britain already blogging every day about their lives and it is naturally creating a fascinating social history archive which is infinitely more interesting and valuable for future generations than this BBC project.
