“Any data that’s public, and that Google can see, is hardly worth storing and organizing. We simply search for what we need, when we need it: just-in-time information management.

Most of us can find all sorts of obscure things more easily than we can find the file that Tom sent Leslie last week.” John Udell —Googling Your EmailO’Reilley Network)
