So DG you are now using phrases only found in the urban dictionary "all those action photos that made us squee"
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=squee
squee = A noise primarily made by an over-excited fangirl, however it has spread rapidly and is now widely spread among the web community.

Gave me pause for thought too, but it's more onomatopoeic than squeal.
dg: aren't you also archived by the British Library (quite rightly)?

diamond geezer also has some of his own blog stored for future generations on the British Library servers.
There are also archive pages of the London Olympics on the Web Archive site.

I did my own little deletion the other day - removing the official London 2012 app from my iPad. In fact I used it very little but it did feel like removing a deceased friend's contact details from one's phone.

A very important issue now that blogs have largely replaced diaries. The British Library has for quite some time captured and archived many sites that it feels are important but that doesn't capture some of the stuff that is trivial on its own but when taken together all adds up. A modern equivalent of mass observation.
To take an example. The was loads of stuff out there showing the reaction of ordinary people on hearing the news of the 7/7 bombings but you try and find this "chatter" now. It's all gone. Valuable historical information potentially lost and possibly personal reactions to events in WWII will actually be better documented for prosperity.
The above is why the British Museum is aiming to record everything because it is only then you get the complete picture.

@Pedantic -- British Library, not British Museum (Oh, I enjoyed that)

Someone tried to archive all of GeoCities before Yahoo pulled the plug http://www.reocities.com/
I can also recommend the Internet Archive's Wayback machine for finding old things or seeing how a site may have changed http://archive.org/web/web.php
