Google News: Why No Crawl?
Gabe Rivera from TechMeme makes an interesting comment (via TechCrunch):
"One thing that bugs me: they’re now hosting original news content, yet they prohibit other aggregators from crawling it (per robots.txt restrictions and TOS). Of course Google News relies on the openness of other organizations with original news content."That could be considered reasonably evil.
The interesting thing will be Google's response. I guess that will come soon enough, as this story is lighting up the blogsphere, at present.
