When you think about it most of the big web 2.0 players are just organising, hosting or aggregating existing content. For example, many news sites aggregate AP feeds (or simply rewrite them), product comparison sites are just aggregating ROR feeds, eBay is just hoting millions of tiny stores. I found an article today that nails the whole 're-syndication' idea - http://www.demonzmedia.com/DemonzBlog/?p=12 I can uderstand why some people would choose to be critical of Google, but at the same time they give so much back (in terms of free services) that I think it's a balanced arguement.

Maybe they are coming to the forefront because it's becoming easier for people to aggregate content from other sources in different ways. I'm glad to see some of these discussions taking place.
