To study Twitter is to study archived Twitter. And if you're replaying archived pages, you need to be familiar with the different generations of UIs.

Tarannum Zaki of @webscidl.bsky.social explores and classifies the different UIs.

In 1996, Brewster Kahle wrote "Preserving the Internet" for Scientific American. Nearly 30 years later, it’s striking how many of his predictions about digital preservation came true—and how many challenges remain.

Let’s compare 1996 vs 2025 🧵
Page from March 1997 Scientific American featuring Brewster Kahle’s article 'Preserving the Internet.' Text describes the Internet Archive’s mission to save digital information. Includes a photo of a Smithsonian exhibit with 1996 U.S. election web memorabilia.

folks are rightly mad when governments take data offline

such as when cities and counties change their websites and the old links to agendas, agenda items, contracts, minutes etc go offline

link rot is real ! it's public data erasure and it's been happening for years

Part two: Who Cares About All Those Old goo.gl Links Anyway?

TL;DR: likely 4000+ goo.gl URLs indexed in Google Scholar will be "lost" under the new sunset criteria (i.e., access in late 2024).

Web links and websites disappear all the time. But Google’s planned erasure of millions of links at once demonstrates the risks of putting our personal and collective digital histories in Big Tech’s hands. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... via @shiraovide.bsky.social
Analysis | Google is killing millions of web links to save a few bucks
The company junked its 15-year-old web address format, which will break a deluge of links in academic research, court documents and websites.

Common Crawl estimated 10M googl links impacted, which is probably a good estimate, but I was only able to find 1.3M archived in the Wayback Machine. More detailed analysis:

In this blog post, I summarized Goel et al.’s "Jawa: Web Archival in the Era of JavaScript". They identified sources of non-determinism that cause replay problems and created a crawler that removes non-deterministic code.
