How Do You Archive Your Social Media Activity?



http://ow.ly/by8be

An article by Sharon Nelson, Esq. posted on the Ride the Lightning Blog.

This article discusses social media network, and provides insight into the complexities involved with archiving the content shared via social media.

The article states, "...each social media provider has a different way of storing postings - the fact that you can no longer see a posting doesn't mean that the provider hasn't stored it. More fundamentally, once posted, you have no idea who may have copied it, forwarded it or stored it for their own reasons. This is why it is best to take the view that whatever you post will live forever - somewhere."

The article also provides a link to a list of social media archive technologies shared by Ron Robinson of Orange Legal Technologies.

  2. Usually, documenting your online activity can be the farthest thing from your mind when you post. It's like underestimating the need for document shredding services when you're handling sensitive matters.
