What do you call a website that has no unique content and is just scraped material from other sources and ads?

(other than Google)

Beyond “GOOGLE” apparently Yahoo is moving beyond just showing search results.  Yahoo has something called “GLUE” out now.  Of course it’s in Beta.  But here is a taste:  Yahoo Glue (new age).

Of course that doesn’t mean it’s a good user experience – but heck you CAN and should take a look at that page.  Every single element is scraped content – and it’s perceived as a good user experience.

It’s also something anyone with just a small amount of programming experience can pull off.
