One of the downsides to search engine dominance is the quality of search results.
If you go looking for quality results (ie. useful sites) in certain topic areas you are more likely to find highly optimised crud than anything useful.
So how can you get past the junk to the content you want to find?
It’s not easy. You can try honing your search phrases or you can ask for a recommendation from a colleague or friend.
Another alternative is to use other people’s bookmarks instead.
Enter del.icio.us
Admittedly I was inspired by this post on Rachel’s blog 🙂

Michele, do you have a del.icio.us account yourself? I’m putting together a comprehensive list of Irish Blogger’s feeds (not just their blog feed) so if you have a del.icio.us, flickr, podcast, etc, feed you don’t mind publicising please let me know 🙂
James Corbett says
Dang, I should have poked around here first. If I did I would have seen your del.icio.us tag in the right hand margin. Sorry!
