A comment on Facebook 'memorialises' profiles.

This seems really coincidental considering that Mark Zuckerberg got a question about what facebook was doing to preserve our data for the next 2,000 years.

His response was "I like thinking in the long-term, but not that long-term". Anyone else get the impression that this is a compromise?

I think they've been doing this for a long time: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-05-08-facebook-vate... . But it's a smart PR move to talk it up after the "next 2000 years" question. (Certainly better than waiting for a tragedy, like last time.)
