David Sifry, the founder of Technorati, compares Google and Yahoo (as Librarians) to Technorati (as a "big-ass threaded conversation") in this revealing interview at economist.com.

"And whereas a library is by tradition a place where people whisper, Mr Sifry's internet is a cheerfully noisy place."

Interesting reading, but the "post-librarian era" [of the Internet] comment seems abit premature, hmmm?
