The splintered internet

Anyone else noticed this?

Lately, I have tried to use the net to find product and travel reviews. But it seems that there are too many sites trying to be THE review site. Each site has maybe 5 reviews on it per item, if the item is reviewed at all. Plus, since they're spread over the last 5 years, most of the reviews aren't even useful.

How come there hasn't been a narrowing down of these sites into a handful of sites? That way, you'd have tens, if not hundreds of reviews, as everyone shows up to review stuff at the same place. As it is you have to look at 10 different sites before getting a grasp on what's good and what isn't. I think I'm spoiled by the consolidation of information on the imdb.

Do you guys have favorite review sites that you frequent?
