The important distinction being that there's a tried and trusted method for sorting information in a printed book library.
Not so much for a 'virtual anti-library' inconsistently spread out all over the internet in a multitude of different incompatible formats (e.g. forums, youtube subscriptions, twitter), as well as various 'local' ones like email and the 'todo' list.
The value of a library also is largely dependent on being able to find things (or definitively 'not find things') in it quickly and easily.
