Links break. Services disappear and redesigns happen. The web is ephemeral. Make sure that what’s important to you will stay available. Webrecorder is a web archiving service anyone can use for free to save web pages. Making a capture is as easy as browsing a page like you normally would. Webrecorder automatically archives the page, along with any additional content triggered by interactions. You can collect, curate and then share your 'archives'.

Ethira http://rhizome.org/editorial/2018/sep/11/rest-in-peace-ethira-an-interview-with-amalia-ulman/
Amalia Ulman’s Ethira (2013) was a social media platform for iPhone that allowed users to post anonymous messages on a public forum, with the caveat that they would disappear soon after posting.

Both an artist’s app and a functional communication tool, Ethira emerged from Ulman’s interest in the fluidity of online identity. It was designed to undercut the burgeoning attention economy by limiting the ways that users could be assigned value: they generated no personally identifiable data, and their posts couldn’t be given a score by other users. Instead, it provided an experience akin to shouting into the void.
