Article: Microsoft Launches Book Digitization Project—MSN Book Search

I like the last paragraph in this article, written by Barbara Quint, which says:

And what’s in this for Web users? It seems one thing has become clear. All the major search engines, not to mention the world of Web users, now believe that all information should come onto the Web. Google’s mission statement—”to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”—seems to have become the mantra for all major Web suppliers. The race has begun to get it all done.
