Google Books now has a new look: shiny!
For all the spiffy, shiny new pseudo-social networking features in Google Books, they seem to have left off something pretty basic: SEARCHING.
One of their features is called "My Library", where Google account holders can add books from their own library. I did that, basically so I could Google's search engine to search within the content of my books, which is easier than pulling down books from the shelf and leafing through them until I find what I want.
Now, in their "update", that functionality to search within one's own library has vanished. Have they decided to give up on the whole "search engine" thing in favor of Facebookesque social networking?
I don't need another Facebook; I need a search engine. If they're not going to be an actual search engine, what the hell good are they?
but, its shiny

Well, he linked to this piece - didn't actually come here and comment but instead decided to stay on his blog and comment about it in a controlled environment.
