YouTube Gone

May 3, 2008

Interesting, given my earlier comments about shared external hosting and the need for reliability when storing artefacts in your ePortfolio across a number of disparate systems. You expect small servers to experience the occasional outage but you don’t (really) expect that of established hosting services the size of YouTube! Imagine my surprise, then, to find the fun video from my last posting suddenly invisible today.

Invisible YouTube

And no joy on a direct search either.
