Just read about Yanhoo's time capsule: For 30 days, from October 10 until November 8, Yahoo! users worldwide can contribute photos, writings, videos, audio – even drawings – to this electronic anthropology project. This digital data will be gathered and preserved for historical purposes.
In addition to submitting your own content, you can view, read, or hear the images, words, and sounds contributed by users from around the world.
You can also comment on the content you and others have submitted – and engage in a digital conversation that is just as revealing and important as any of the content you’ll witness.
And by November 8, you will have helped create a digital legacy of our times, a mosaic of revealing snapshots that will be sealed and entrusted to Smithsonian Folkways Recordings based in Washington D.C., officially taking its place in history.

According to BBC news, The redevelopment of wasteland on the banks of the River Clyde is reaping bigger than expected rewards, with more than 50,000 new jobs being created. The area is characterised by the latest piece of cicil engoneering, the £20 million Clyde Arc, aka the Squinty Bridge. This whole area is one of transformation, with new office developments such as the BBC and SMG HQs at Pacific Quay.
