Kind of interesting, though in my areas of interest blog pollution hasn't been a problem at all. I might have expected a mild PR degradation for blogs in the main results, as opposed to complete segregation. I just don't see blogs as unique or useful enough to justify their own category.

I am a bit concerned, though, about sites that use blog software for straight content management. I have a few sites where I've set up a Movable Type system that allows non-technical experts to add articles to their sites. I fear a repeat of the Zeus scenario (a couple of years ago, link directories identified as being created with Zeus got penalized - regardless of actual quality) - an unlucky choice of tools might get your great content banished to blogville.
