There's a site, IP.com, which claims to publish prior art for the 
benefit of patent offices worldwide, and to "have relations with 
various patent offices in order to allow them easier access to our 
data". They claim the USPTO is a subscriber, as well as various other
organisations. Mind you, it only helps for those things that were 
published with them early enough. 

I had heard of some other web site collecting prior art but can't 
find the URL.
