Expired and Unused Logins

Posted by admin under Information Marketing

I am clearing out old “logins” or “passcards” that I have accumulated during the past ten years of being online.  These old logins have just been cluttering up my roboform forever and now my 1password. I have logins to so many sites that don’t exist anymore.  Some of these sites haven’t existed in this century in fact.
In a way, the fact that so many of these sites are now defunct makes me feel better about all the sites I have built in the past and just let dwindle into nothingness or ideas I have had that had a very short shelf life

In fact, isn’t that what is so great about building an information marketing business on the internet.  Unlike the investment in time and money that a brick and mortar business idea requires to execute, an internet-based business idea demands very little time or money to give an idea a go.

If the idea pans out… great!  If not, then so what.  Not much lost.

And if it pans out but interest is lost over time, the business is  erased as domain names expire or change hands.

In a weird sort of way, the internet is an ecosystem with decomposers waiting in the wings to reabsorb the detritus of old websites.  Domain names expire and are either repurchased and relaunched as something new or just disappear.

Of course, that still doesn’t change the fact that I have 1315 logins on my computer and at least 2/3rds of them probably should be deleted.  Ugh.  This could take a while.
