WEBSITE OF THE DAY – History Pin

Make your mark in the annuls of online history


9 June 2011 1:00 GMT / By Ian Hughes

One thing that we should perhaps spend a bit more time thinking about is whether we use all this amazing modern technology to spend too much time looking forwards. We seem to be obsessed with what we might be able to do next month, next year, or in the next century.

What about all the amazing things that have already happened and have gone unrecorded, unnoticed, unloved?

There are plenty of sites and online resources you can use to explore the past, but at www.historypin.com we get to make it a bit more personal.

You can pin your own history to the map with photos, stories and memories and they’ll sit there for future generations to marvel at either how mundane your life was or what an exciting existence you had back in the 21st century.

This is a chance to definitively make your make on the online landscape, and one that will last for years to come.
