Yahoo! enters the photo sharing space?

Well not exactly, but this seems like a nice idea. In our love affair with free information whenever and whereever, Yahoo is trying a new model - holding information back.

The plan for Yahoo! time capsule is to collect 5 terbytes of data from users and such and seal it up!
No one will be able to view it until Yahoo's 25 anniversary in the year 2020.

I think it's a nice idea. I mean, think about VH1. Why is "I love the 80s" so popular? It's memorabilia. I think this shows some reallysmart forward thinking.
