Summary:The basic problem that this article addresses are the challenges and possibilities that Web 2.0 offers historians in a globalized world: an archive that grows exponentially and chaotically, but that represents the digital memory of postmodern global society.

It also reflects on how to approach this infinite archive with historical criteria.
