Odd internet thing I read today. One of the blogs I read got a comment on one of their posts from someone saying they were with a new site... your content is really great... we'd love to use it... blah blah... something about linking... etc. And the first time I read it I thought it was odd. Then I thought about it some more, and went to the mentioned "new site" and started thinking, no, that's actually rather fucked up. So, the new site is basically an aggregator. Okay, they're trying to be a resource. But, they're already running Google ads and their "about" info clearly states that they're planning to sell ad space. I guess I don't really see the upside for an already popular and (it seems) well-trafficked site (which does not run ads) to give away their content for free to help drive traffic to another site which is then going to sell ads to make money.
Is it just me or is that what we'd call an unreasonable request?
