It's entirely plausible to conceive of a world where wikipedia didn't exist and Encarta would be listed as the first hit when you searched for "James Clerk Maxwell", or whatever you were interested in. The reason that they're not is simply because Wikipedia is better.>>

I don't know if I buy the implication that the first hit is the one people *like*. Often on the first page of hits I will pick the second, third, or fifth one, simply because I recognize it as a quality link. Oftentimes the first hit I recognize right away as something that going to be useless for me.
