Internet Archive
These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.
Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.
The goal is to
fix all broken links on the web .
Crawls of supported "No More 404" sites.
A daily crawl of more than 200,000 home pages of news sites, including the pages linked from those home pages. Site list provided by

Participants used Google+ Hangouts to connect with hackathons in other states and collaborated with Google Apps and platforms.Eat Healthy for Less , the winner of our Mountain View hackathon, is a mobile web application that uses the Consumer Pricing Index to suggest healthy recipes that can be made on a budget.Data+ , a reimagining of how we access data, can make exploring public datasets more intuitive and easily understandable for everyone.Detoxic.org is a web experience and Android app that shows you toxic sites and landfills nearby that you might not know about so that you can take civic action against toxic waste.g.co/civicdevelopers .Patrick Copeland is director of engineering at Google.org, where he works to build systems that leverage Google's reach to help people around the world.Posted by Scott Knaster , Editor
