Bluesky will never be Twitter. YouTube is no longer about funny videos made with your friends. The old internet is gone, but it can be remade. The website IMG_0001 proves it.
IMG 0107 landed on my screen by way of IMG_0001, a website created by San Francisco engineer Riley Walz that pulls all the videos uploaded to YouTube from the iPhone’s long-lost “Send to YouTube” feature. Because iPhone used to name video files “IMG_XXXX,” Walz says he was able to use YouTube’s API to pull all the videos with names in that format. He identified about 5 million.
The problem with archiving, though, remains that you can archive a static image of an AOL Instant Messenger screen, but you can’t archive the feeling of getting kicked off of chat because your mom picked up the phone. Same goes for the feeling of seeing that a celeb liked your tweet, something most people haven’t felt in a long time. Perhaps this is what Walz captured with IMG_0001, why looking at it feels like a gut punch.
