SheGeeks: Quality Information & Knowing Just Enough

Hi Corvida, I was thinking about your reply (thanks btw). My feelings are a bit mixed about this. If you would ask anyone on the street about it, they would most likely agree and go for quality over quantity. If I observe behavior of the people I know and see on the web, then I'm inclined to think that people are not willing to put the effort in. Just grab the first hit on Google, and it will be correct, right? The same behavior can be seen in any 'social' site. In general people seem to choose quantity (follow and get followed by as many as you can). But mostly they have an issue with quality. Who is the expert now that we can all publish? I responded to another commentor on my blg (and it feels appropriate here too ;-)) "But then there is the problem (now at least) that we can’t be sure of authority anymore. Who is the expert and who is not. Just think about it, you just read a post from a Dutch dude hat was just thinking out loud."
