Tools For Thought - Intelegia

Did you happen to miss the series finale of the popular U.S. television show, “The Sopranos”? Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to watch the show however, I figured I would somehow catch a brief clip of the controversial ending online. Obviously, I headed over to YouTube to see if anyone was brave enough to post a minute of the show. To my surprise, I found a clip of the last eight minutes. The quality of the video was poor at best but, I finally learned about what the hoopla was all about. As I went back the next day to YouTube to show my friend the clip, YouTube removed the clip, at the request of HBO, the network that broadcast the show.

My point behind telling you about this query on YouTube is how content on the web 2.0 can appear in seconds and disappear in the same amount of time. Whenever you are reading and / or extracting content from various platforms, do not take it for granted that the same content will be there when you revisit the source.
