relevant to my post last night that I'm going back and fixing up my 23 years of blog archives, and restoring broken links, it is *astounding* how much better a job the personal web does at keeping links alive and content online. Most personal blogs I linked to are either still around or redirect to a place where the content is easy to find. The vast majority of corporate content (including news) has been erased, with only imperfect Internet Archive copies available.

Ha! I was checking and fixing broken links too, today. Rewriting some stuff, but not any news articles. I found the same as you, corporate stuff often deleted or moved to a new URL without a redirect. X
Edit: typo fix
