This article is a nice thought, but it's formatted so atrociously, I doubt anyone is going to visit these alternate sites.

Well, http://www.watchknow.org/ which I got started is on the list, and we're getting some good traffic--a hell of a lot more than we're credited for by Alexa and Quantcast.

Hate to tell ya Larry, but searching that site is a miserable experience.

Second Life, Facebook, and Twitter are also on the ALA's 2009 list of the Top 25 sites.

The formatting of Larry's new site is also suspect.

The formatting problem was very temporary. Happened for a few hours on that day and not since.

SB_Johnny, actually, WatchKnow has been praised dozens of times for its ease of searchability and use. We worked a lot on this, and the search engine's results are, for the most part, highly relevant. Moreover, the directory (if you search through it by drilling down) is pretty snazzy, I thought. In what way did it seem to be a "miserable experience" to you? Maybe you caught the site when it was undergoing growing pains a.k.a. temporarily experiencing a bug?

Also, have a look at my "How to Use WatchKnow" video. http://www.watchknow.org/Video.aspx?VideoI...CategoryID=6611

It's a brand new kind of software, so it might not be obvious how to use it.
