Wrapping up on Metadirectories

Well, I think that for the moment, we've worked over this topic pretty well. Ian Yip's done a great job of summarizing all the arguments, pro and con. Somehow he even made it amusing. (Ian have you considered writing for sitcoms or Jon Stewart?)

From all of this I can say the following:

Metadirectories are not dead
The Metadirectory discussion will continue for quite some time
Virtual Directories are definitely a viable alternative

and I think that Jeff Boren said it best: They’re just tools. I know that as a MaXware alumni that's the best summation. Pick the right tool and methodology for the job.

Yeah that'd be nice. Lots of free time to blog because I'd probably be on strike half the time :-)
