The whole joy of the current state of the Web, seems to me, is that
searching needn't be ad-hoc. I can search the Web for a factual or
technical question very rapidly and with a great deal of focus. A
couple of years ago I realized that it was usually quicker to find
something using Google and Wikipedia than it was to walk across my
office and take a book off a shelf. The Web has become a better memory
than my own, and I'm very happy with that. I don't use bookmarking
much simply because its slower. (07)
