Dan Gilmour's remarks on Google and how its going to obviate the needs of domain name did not seem very impressive to me. That was why I was surprised at the inordinate amount of publicity that those remarks received. Finally, here are some remarks in the 16.1.02's post (its a British site!)of plasticbag.org that explores the logical inconsistencies of that argument.

I went there via Kottke. I think kottke's is one of the best placeholders for weblogs out there. In the absence of a really good portal for weblogs, the best way that one can explore new weblogs is through referrals. Since he gets a lot of press, I suspect people are always sending links to him. I dont mean to say that those he highlights are the best out there. But going through his links is a good way to get to find some of the very good ones. I think lightningfield.com provides the same serice for - what I can only call - photologs.
