As a surfer, I like this. But as a webmaster...

G. you realise that you are contributing to the problem! I just replied to you in another thread, but was not sure how to spell "Eccleston" so I did a Google search "dr who actors" and got a nice little side scrolly of the main cast from the past 50 years of the show, and of the spin off serieses. Clicking on any one of them gave me a nice bio of the actor, no clicking on search results needed!

Indeed, google is doing it with a lot of things, not just sports. Actors, yes, but even a lot of businesses are getting the google treatment. Try searching for just about any company out there now, local or otherwise. If they have a website or not it won't matter, google provides you with their contact info and other information on them right there boldly to the right of the search results. No need whatsoever to ever go to anyone's site ever again, right?

The webmaster side of GG is spot-on with his concern.
