What is Archive.today?
Archive.today (or archive.is) allows you to "take a photo" of a webpage that will always be available even if the original page changes or is deleted.
Archive.is saves both a textual and graphical (1024x768) copy of the page (for accuracy) and provides a short URL. Unlike other services, it can also archive the following type of pages:
- hashtag pages from Web2.0 sites, e.g. https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23nowplaying
- 404 pages
- pages forbidden by robots.txt rules
- httpS pages
Archive.is has opaque URLs for individual snapshots (e.g. http://archive.is/n9Yb) but transparent URLs for all public snapshots of a given URL (e.g. http://archive.is/http://twitter.com/%23!/medvedevrussia)
Scripts are disabled, reportedly to prevent pop-ups or malware, but in practice this results in legitimate sites not functioning after archiving (e.g. Google Maps), which can often be an intended benefit (where would the map image come from if you panned left in Google Maps?)
Archive.is also lists a live feed of all URLs archived, so your archive may be public; however, since archive.is doesn't require a login, and the URL you archive must be public to begin with, this is not a privacy concern.

Comments and Reviews
If you are a webdeveloper you should know about this app. Because its important to save your work in the event the company you work for decides to change website you work on etc (saving portfolio)
Also, for saving webpages, its best in its class
Alternatives are like
SingleFile which works on the client side, but is not exactly 100% reliable though and is better for things behind login paywalls
Otherwise, archive.is is best in class for server-based downloading of webpages
Its also support by
Reddit Enhancement Suite as well, many times used to save someones deleted twitter, reddit, or facebook posts, etc
Is similar to app
Wayback Machine
Also other pros: You can download entire zip file of a webpage too. Super useful if you want a non-online version of notes stored on your mobile phone, perhaps you have job interview and need to show portfolio but have no internet in some locations, etc. Useful for versioning control data as well too

Archive.today seems to be one of the most viable alternatives to the Wayback Machine, yet it doesn't feel right. There's literaly no information about who owns the site, where the money comes from and there are several downsides which make it more or less another half-working archive stuck in the 90s.
Fantastic user-friendly archiving tool. I use the chrome extension constantly. Just remember to clean-up the URL to have it work well if e.g you're getting a news article from Facebook or Twitter you should cut the URL down to just what is needed!
Managed to pull out a page that wasn't available in Wayback Machine. Thank you.
sometimes looks down , but on other computer works OK
Quick and easy webpage archiving. Extremely useful for preserving important information online quickly.
