I was reading the other day that apparently there are 110,000 bits of space junk orbiting the Earth, which made me wonder just how many bits of 'web junk' are there out there? Online bits and bobs abandonned by their owners never to be revisited.
There must be millions of social network pages for people who have gone and died or less dramatically lost their passwords to, or simply forgotten about. For instance when did you last check your Friends Reunited Page or even your MySpace profile? By the way, if you do revisit either of those sites, you will be gobsmacked at how much they both now look like Facebook, talk about 'closing the stable door' guys?!?
Then there are the yahoo, google etc mail accounts that have been created and abandonned - I think that I personally have around a dozen or so accounts that I've created over the years for various reasons then entirely forgotten about.
Now where is my Compuserve login?
