"Enterprise Architecture" on google

Before starting the blog, I thought of going to google and checkout what all it gives on first page when I put Enterprise architecture. First hit was a wiki page, which is logical the way wiki's are becoming first page for most of the words. Second hit was a unknown software company making EA tools, this was surprise, I must say they are good at SEO. Third hit was a spam site.

Overall I feel that none the first page hits were relevant for me to look at how people are looking at enterprise architectures. This came to me as huge surprise, so my task for next few day would be to create a very good starting point list of good sites on Enterprise Architecture. Keep looking at this site, will update it soon.
