Like people have said, better search engines are very important for making the internet really work, because now it's hit or miss. Somehow a T.V. guide equivalent is needed. The main difference between the internet and, say, books at home is that the internet might give me crap, but sometimes I hit paydirt I wouldn't have found any other way. I only found the Lurkerlounge from searching for diablo 2 strategies, before here I never looked at forums before, plus the "talking" has got me a lot of interesting information. If I hadn't been looking just to look, I wouldn't have found all that. The main point is that all this media stuff is mostly useful for finding new things, they might be misses, but the hits are uaually worth it.

Some people in forums do the next best thing to listening to themselves talk, writing and reading what they write (source, my brother)
