Greetings Martin,

I have a tendency to agree with you when you say, "Put simply - are blogs, wikis, etc as valuable resources as formal articles that have been through the rigorous academic process? My feeling is that if they meet the need then yes."

However, the reader must have a research oriented and thinking approach to these more informal repositories of information, in order to check the validity of what is being said, and by whom. So, in fact, if this is being done, the information is being validated by 'peers', just not in the ususal, formal sense of the term.
Cheers.
