I'm aware that there are a number of independent people reporting on the industry as a whole- the one site that has a digest for GFY is really rocketing right now.

But even that site isn't a thorough plumbing of data- it's more about producing readable, timely current events journalism- rather than information resource piling. It's a good read, and it pulls traffic like mad, but doesn't inform comprehensively- doesn't give you a sense of the sort of expert wisdom you could trust to find everything.

There is a hidden problem of time efficiency with all of the individual webmasters reading through so much useless text. Don't get me wrong- you can find just about anything by searching for it. But you have to <i>know it exists</i> first. <i>That is the primary disconnection</i> in every webmaster's "information tool chain".

I think we're about to see very serious efforts at doing this in a comprehensive way, perhaps divided by expert topic. Most of the information out there is crafted for consumption- what I'm talking about is hardcore, verifiable data mining- the prime directive of the author being to inform their audience 100%.
