People worry a lot about losing knowledge — about "burned-down libraries".

Comparatively few people seem to worry about what happens if you take a billion books full of auto-generated, often-untrue junk text and *add* them all to the library.

In theory, nothing is lost. In reality, everything is lost, because nothing useful can now be found.

I really dislike the website Scribd. It really frustrates me, how they, like many platforms, rode the wave of user generated content and then put a big pay wall around it. Just a total waste of peer to peer potential for knowledge sharing.

Today, I came across this handy tool which seems to get around the wall.
