How do you mean? In what sense?

>Would they look it up?

It would appear in their logs, yes. Anyone who has access to the server logs could/would
see it. Anyone who doesn't probably won't.

What I meant was if webmasters saw a string like :-

In the logs, would they be likely to visit it? If so, that site could explain the issues from a siteowners point of view. e.g. copyright, takes people to competitors etc.

It would be a very easy way to spread the word.

Nothing found yet but have found an interesting article from the NY Times in 1999. Apologies if this has already been posted amongst the 605 pages already.

Lifetimes of Memories Preserved on CD-ROM's by Kent
Quote:
The company, Life.com, has recently released a CD-ROM called My Life that encourages people to assemble their memories, thoughts and long-held secrets into a multimedia memoir.

My Life asks people to select a electronic cards from 230 categories, like ''Creativity'' or ''As a child.'' Each card poses questions that range from practical to probing. One asks: ''What is the flat-out stupidest thing you have ever done?''

''We went through a lot of research to make the questions interesting in and of themselves,'' said Kent Ertugrul, the company's founder
