Does Search Make Web Designers Redundant?
In 'The Search Lurch: Have We Become Lazy Googlers or Smarter Web Researchers?', 4 distinguished internet luminaries answer questions on people's evolving use of search.
While search provides users with a consistent (and therefore easy to use) view of information from any website, web designers must still ensure that their interfaces provide obvious links to related information (that the user may or may not have been aware of).
This is a great little article but it doesn't cover how these points relate to the subscription model (RSS etc) that's emerging out of search.
