Back in 2002 (or 02002 as the Long Now folks like to call it) a bet was arranged. The substance of the bet was as follows:

In a Google search of five keywords or phrases representing the top five news stories of 02007, weblogs will rank higher than the ‘New York Times’ Web site

Well, 02007 is now over, so the bed has been adjudicated. The result is given here. The post is interesting both for the discussion around how to actually adjudicate the result, and also because the blogs won 4-1.
