Seen the latest copy of Wired? It has an article on a company that generates a lot of online content. They pay about $15 bucks for an article, $20 for a video. What's most interesting is how the stories are generated. It's based on search terms cross-referenced with how much those search terms can get in advertising. I don't know if I'm fascinated or terrified. Or both. The company, Demand Media, is making lots of money. It's behind eHow, but it also does a lot of other stuff.
