NEW VIRTUAL LANDFILL SERVICE RIDS THE WEB OF UNSIGHTLY DIGITAL DEBRIS

Digital Landfill (potatoland.org/landfill) is an innovative new service
from POTATOLAND.org that gives web surfers and designers a place to
dispose of their digital debris. The rapid growth of the web has created
a startling increase in virtual refuse. Spam, misdirected mail,
abandoned websites, and postings to Usenet groups all have added to an
ever increasing volume of digital refuse that affects virtually anyone
with an email account. Now, with Digital Landfill, web citizens have an
economical, safe, clean, and environmentally friendly way to dispose of
unsightly scrap data.

"Digital refuse is the greatest aesthetic challenge the web faces
today," says Mark Napier, creator of the Digital Landfill service.
"Given the influx of new websites and surfers, web real estate is
becoming very limited, and people really need a convenient and
inexpensive virtual waste disposal system. I created the Digital
Landfill to help clean up the web, and to raise people's awareness of
the digital refuse issue." The service is free. Through a unique
recycling system the digital debris is composted and used to fertilize
virtual rhizomes at POTATOLAND.
