Arguably, About.com's popularity (isn't this always the way) is spurring others to mimic this 'guiding'.

There is also a precedent in the Open Directory Project (www.dmoz.com) - a lower cost model, to be sure, but not all that useful for the user, IMO.

I guess About.com will be like the 'Cadillac' of the guide sites. Time will tell if they can afford to pay their guides for what is some fairly inconsistent-quality guiding.
