This is one of those tools that excites great extremes of veneration and vituperation, quite similar to the novel from which the tool's name came. For myself, hewing to the extreme middle, as is my wont, I consider this an interesting way to get a grip on massive amounts of information which would otherwise be impossible to assimilate.
It certainly represents a different way of looking at the InterNet, that is for sure, and deserves evaluation on those grounds alone.
