Who has tried OCLC's Internet index/gateway, NetFirst?  

I am interested in hearing arguments, pro and con, about why
you would choose a commercial service like this, when excellent
results seem to be had from freely available search tools
such as Yahoo, Lykos, etc.  Is it that the OCLC index has
better coverage, more careful selectivity in the resources
represented, better descriptions, better categorizations....?

Why would anyone use NetFirst?
