We check the dates on eggs, milk, canned goods, drugs (pharmaceuticals, you knew what I meant) and many other things to see if they are fresh, or if they are not fit for consumption.
Check for Freshness Don't Drink Old Milk
This applies to what you read on the internet as well. There is a lot of information posted to the internet. I also know a lot of those doing the posting don’t include the date the post was written. There was a time when we all thought what we wrote on our blogs and websites would someday just disappear as new material was made available and the search engines moved on to newer content. That is not the case, now the axiom is, if you publish it on the net it will never disappear.
Recently I found a post I wrote on this blog about the Tucson housing market back in 2006 being quoted on another blog. It was treating the content of my post as if it were just written and drawing conclusions about the Tucson real estate market based on information in that post. IT WAS OUT OF DATE. The freshness of that post was as old as the eggs you found in the back of the fridge with the “Best used by Dec 2006″ Could you eat those eggs? Probably. But what would be the result? Any benefit to you from it? Same with reading old news and drawing conclusions as if it were written today.
Check the date on the information you are reading for Freshness. And have a great day. When was the last time you cleaned out the fridge? Don’t eat the two year old eggs : )
