   We thought [The Internet Archive would] be kind of a ... a quirky fun thing for people that have kind of lost their websites or something like that, but it turns out that lots and lots of people use it; It's used by about 500'000 people every day.vidcommons.org/w/dQoLrzKVCCruY…
   
   This is the true power of making things available to everyone at minimal friction; You never know what someone is going to find useful and how they're going to use it for new things in new contexts.
   
   Someone a long (internet) time ago coined "engineered serendipity" and the most elementary form of engineered serendipity is to just get things out there for people to find, use and reuse.

     @clacke Always have a soft spot for the Internet archive. Especially as we outsourced the TINAP hosting to them.
