I had noticed that I was finding the same information in several places but could not work out why. Thanks for the explanation.

Assuming that your final sentence is not intented to be ironic, I think the reasons why blogs are not just a succession of clones is because of the personal pride of the dedicated blogger to find a site, or address a topic either first or in a way which is creative enough to be interesting and worth reading. Where bloggers to find something they want to reference of another's site, they normally provide the (via xxx) link.

To take your theme to its logical conclusion would be a blog of blogs where the entire thing is just a culling of the content of other blogs. However, methinks that model is already being served by the automated sites like UKBLOGS, or the aggregated RSS feeds, or if done by a person would be so tedious as to not get many regular visitors.

Hey, great idea.

How about diamondwhitegeezer.com with drink ads?

having already discovered this, I've been either searching on wikipedia itself or, more usually, typing in my search string +wikipedia which seems to bring up the wikipedia entry within the first ten.

In Google, just use:

"my search string" site:wikipedia.org

Have you seen http://www.whitelabel.org/wp/wikiproxy.php which melds Wikipedia with the BBC News Online site?

I get pissed off with those sites that claim to hold info about towns but are actually empty (presumably because they haven't actually persuaded any local businesses to advertise on them). They seem to get a high ranking on Google even though they're useless.

I was working in Enfield today. It's not all bad. There's a Waitrose.
