Maybe they'll call it a ``find machine''<br />or a ``search engine''. Until then your best recourse is to ask someone who knows stuff. <br /><br />Andrew Sullivan is a political blogger whose blog is called `The daily dish'.<br />He has been blogging for a long time (I think since 2000, if we had one of those<br />search-thingies I could be sure) but recently called it quits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-61287550642686259242015-02-19T11:41:08.580-06:002015-02-19T11:41:08.580-06:00Really sorry to see you go.

I hope that you successor will continue your good work. <br /><br />I do have a piece of advice (request?) for your successor. In this day and age of free online courses, Wikipedia, Youtube, and other free online sources of information, we as a society should take every step to encourage free online books. Books, in particular, textbooks, are way more expensive than they should be, and the main beneficiaries are not the authors, but rather publishers.<br /><br />Thus, let us encourage more authors to write free online books by automatically giving free books brownie points in our book reviews when compared to paid books of equivalent quality. For a great article on the case for free online books, see: http://from-a-to-remzi.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-case-for-free-online-books-fobs.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
