After all, this is a free market economy and who does the job with more efficiency wins the job! If all AP does is “regurgitates press releases”, I am all for Google taking over AP’s job!

I don't see what this has to do with any Internet bubble; information is probably the #1 good on the Internet today, not overvalued stocks. Personally, I don't visit Google News (or the AP), but I do read many, many blogs. And as mentioned in the article, the AP essentially just regurgitates press releases. I used to teach a college class with an econ unit; TNSTAAFL doesn't mean you have to pay money for every good. It means that there's an opportunity cost for every decision. It is funny that some essentially anonymous commenter thinks they're above common courtesy. Oh, wait—no, it isn't. Um, this would be the online information economy.

The same kind that had made the last cyber bubble? It is funny that some blogger thinks that they are so "high tech" that they are beyond the basic economy rule that there is no FREE lunch. Would you still be visiting google news often if it is just a regurgitation of the _blogs_? The fact is, google takes _freely_ the content that news papers spent millions of money researching and sell them to us (by the way of advertisements).
