I suspect we need some sort of search engine that helps push us towards the alternate stuff.
Currently google tends to highlight the big sites/authoritative sources etc, and not the smaller blogs/forums/etc as much.
We basically need some filter against the winners that take all. Block off the top 10-20% sites and only show the long tail.

When shopping, for example, (in normal search, not the Shopping tab) I'll often have heard of every store on page 1 and almost no stores on page 2+. Using default of 10 results per page.
