Links in a tangled Web

It seemed like a good test of the Internet — and my knowledge of the World Wide Web. The task was to find out which films were showing in Cambridge over the following days. I remembered seeing a reference to a film guide somewhere on the Web — but the question was where? The World Wide Web is like a room into which people are constantly piling books in a haphazard and random manner. So many items had landed in the ‘What's New’ section since the film guide that I had completely lost track of where I had seen it. After checking a couple of media lists and a few local directories I resorted to posting a request for the information in a local newsgroup. The post was answered straight away. Someone had the information in a database and cut and pasted it into a reply — perhaps without even looking at the address itself. The address threw up an error and the software I was using to access the Web told me the file did not exist.
