Timestamp it!

Can't articles on the web carry the date when it was first published? It helps to have the source mentioned too. But the date it was published in IMHO a must. It's especially true for articles related to technology since one does not know how relevant the article in question remains.

Imagine reading an article publised in 1998 today and getting all excited about a new technology that's coming up! Having said that, most of the articles do carry the information, only some don't.
