Links of the day

I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in daily posts. Hope you enjoy! More of them in the archive.

Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links, Ars Technica. The people behind archive.today did some nasty things to a blogger who tried to identify them: they launched a DDoS attack against the blog and altered archived pages to tarnish his reputation. When an archive becomes susceptible to tampering, it ceases to be reliable.
