  • What does this mean for the library as we have known it? Has Google suddenly obsolesced the idea of a library as a building stuffed with books?
  • Google seems to have abandoned – or ignored – library science in its own book project.
  • In fact, because the library is universal, library science now needs to be a universal skill set, more broadly taught than at any time previous to this.

  • We cannot die; we are forever. We're getting bigger every day--and solely by the force of our ideas, malicious and hostile as they often are. If you want another name for your opponent, then call us Legion, for we are many.

  • 2.5 million posts a day and about 800 active boards split into thousands of threads, 2-channel is the biggest BBS in the world

Bush, and crashed Time.com's server. Tashiro -- who is infamous for his blatant sexual harassment and belligerent public behavior -- was removed from the list.
