    And of course, 2 billion of that is goddamn blogs.

    I run a website for a living. And while I really don't like blogs, Google's PageRank algorith (or what's left of it) normalizes all the pages it know of on the web. So in order for me to make my page have higher rank, there have to be a whole lot of crappy pages out there with lower rank.

    I'm not thrilled with all the junk/info overload out there. But there is a silver lining.
