Friends --
We are working with The Internet Archive (archive.org) and the Library
=
of Congress to build an archive of the emerging web sphere related to = the September 11 Terrorist Attack.
As hundreds (thousands?) of web sites around the world react to these = events, we think it is critical to identify, archive and annotate these = sites and pages. We're interested in finding as much web content as = possible, from as many different sites and different countries as = possible. Everything is of interest, especially those sites not likely = to be picked up by search engines or web crawlers (like individual's = pages with links sent via email).
This archive will be made available to the public in a way similar to = the Election Collection 2000 = [http://archive0.alexa.com/collections/e2k.html].
To get this effort moving, we have quickly together a *very simple* web = site at a new site, http://webarchivist.org. If you're interested, = visit that site, and follow the (hopefully) simple directions. = Basically, what we're asking is that you click on a special link (that = you install on your browser) whenever you are visiting a site that you = think should be archived. Clicking on the link will alert our system to = archive that site immediately. If you're up for it, you can also get a = tool that allows you to fill out a 3-question "site coding sheet", = identifying the type of site producer, the kinds of activities available = on the site, and an open-ended assessment of the site.
If you'd rather, feel free to send list of links to us at one of the = email addresses below.
We hope you'll join us in this important activity. We'll try to have = some preliminary results of the effort available by the time of the AOIR = conference next month.
And, please, any comments or suggestions on how to identify relevant = sites -- send them along!
Thanks,

Has anyone seen statistics on Internet traffic on Sept. 11 and 12? If so, where? I noticed that the major news websites were really "slow" on Sept. 11. I also heard the CEO of Earthlink on NPR talk about huge spikes in traffic to his member sites. He also mentioned that e-mail use was down, and the use of synchronous chat was up. I'm teaching a CMC class and would love to talk about it in class.

While this doesn't speak for the entire Internet, it is probably quite representative.

And if you're interested in CMC but don't read Slashdot, you probably should visit the link anyway.
