in fairness, I regularly find information that's actually useful to me on about.com. Not the highest quality site, but I certainly wouldn't rank it with the demand medias of this world.

- dpark 15y agoAbout.com's problem is that a lot if their articles are poor quality, meaning factually inaccurate in parts, and/or outdated. They're not generally spam, though. I'll take about.com over ehow's vacuous crap any day. How to install a sprinkler system. 1. Decide what kind of sprinkler you need for your yard. 2. Buy the sprinkler system. 3. Install the sprinkle system. 4. Test your new sprinklers. This kind of junk from ehow (and others) shows up all the time, very high in the results, when doing searches for home maintenance.
