Re: Death knell for quality content?

That's quite possible.  Just for laughs I took a look, and It's hard
to tell exactly what their business model is, since at this point there
don't seem to be many ads on it despite its prominent "advertise
with us."  I would guess, though, that search engine results are
indeed the way most hits happen, since it's very hard to find
anything by clicking through the site itself.  I got the impression
that I was looking at an electronic version of a Pennysaver flyer.
