答疑：心月伊然Ben Welsh spends about $60 a month on storage space for PastPages.org. He feared the cost would increase beyond what he could afford, so he asked people for help through the website Kickstarter. Thousands of Americans use the website to seek money to pay for their projects.
Two days after Ben Welsh made his request, PastPages.org had received promises for half of the $5,000 that he had asked for. Within about a week, he had gotten all of it and more. Mr. Welsh says he will use the money to expand his website.
Stephanie Bluestein was a reporter at the Los Angeles Times. She is now an assistant professor of journalism at California State University, Northridge. She believes PastPages.org will prove to be a valuable resource.
Professor Bluestein says today's news changes so quickly that even archiving once an hour may soon not be enough.Ben Welsh每月要为PastPages.org的存储空间花上60美元。他担心这一花费将会增加，超出他所能承受的范围，因此他通过Kickstarter网站寻求帮助。数千美国人利用这一网站寻找他们项目的资金来源。
在Ben Welsh提出这一请求两天之后，PastPages.org就得到了2500美元的承诺，这也是他所要求的5000美元的一半。在一周内他得到了全部款项甚至更多。Welsh先生说他会利用这些钱来扩大自己的网站。
Stephanie Bluestein是洛杉矶时报(Los Angeles Times)的记者，同时也是北岭市(Northridge)加州大学(California State University)新闻学的助理教授。她相信PastPages.org会成为一个有价值的资源。
Bluestein教授指出现今新闻更新如此之快，每小时存档一次可能很快也无法满足需求了。
