This is worth considering.

Dead and missing peoples profiles
Please, if you have a R.I.P. circle, go to archive.org - Internet Archive and search for those profiles, that forces archive.org to make a copy of that profile and keep it as a "memento mori". With Google deleting the "digital grave" they would vanish otherwise.
That would be more than sad, like destroying a grave. We should give those people an act of respect and remembrance and 'bury' them inside the Internet Archive.
Even if you only suspect that they are gone.

You can save via link as well:

So, say,
https://web.archive.org/save/https://plus.google.com/116994191939922939938
This can be easily scripted.

Thanks, that makes it easier.
ReplyDeleteOoh gonna try this later.
ReplyDeleteGerhard Torges Right. You can generate a list, and feed it to curl via xargs running 10-20 requests simultaneously. I've hit 10,000+ submissions in just over 2 hours.
ReplyDeleteWell, Edward Morbius, it's by no means a real stream archive.
ReplyDeleteGerhard Torges Right: you'll only grab the profile page and a few visible posts.
ReplyDeleteHowever ... this may help the ArchiveTeam generate FULL ARCHIVES of that profile in their upcoming GoogleMinus project.
I like that initiative.
