That reminds me - I was looking last week into the possibility of making a Google custom search site with either a whitelist of trusted technology sites, or a blacklist of sites to exclude. I haven't looked into whether the management of that could be group-sourced, but maybe someone else here has thought about this. I haven't looked into the terms of service of custom search sites, either. But of course slashdot was high on the whitelist. I was thinking about sites for several purposes - general technology news and opinion, or specific troubleshooting / programming sites. Some way to avoid the site-scrapers who populate the troubleshooting pages.
