[One of us said](glasblower:marcellmars.md): "WWW is missing backlinks, i.e. being able to see what links to here. The initial proposal by Ted Nelson for Xandau included backlinks. There's nothing emancipatory in the merely formal aspect of backlinking. However, we're also missing not only backlinks, but also the ability to retrieve and save that which links to here, so that it doesn't disappear – as it often does and can be only reconstructed from the Internet Archive. Only once there's a way to secure that something does not disappear, one can decide for something to appear only under certain circumstances, appear to certain groups, or not to appear at all."
