Finding Murphy and Quayle
October 20, 2006
Larry makes a good point - video is perhaps the most ephemeral of all media. Finding old clips is near impossible. I very much hope this will change.

I was at the MMKM kickoff meeting two years ago, and at this gathering a representative from the BBC offered to these research communities open access to 50 years of digital BBC video archives, for research purposes.
While Google/Tube is focused primarily on distributing and wrapping advertising around video, there are all these other groups actually doing research into searching video.. making it perhaps a little less ephemeral than it currently is.
