By this logic, Wordpress.com, Blogger.com, Livejournal.com, Thumblr, Flickr, and every other free site that allows you to post content is a 'content farm'. I'd argue that we should use a stricter definition: content farms are those where the company contracts out for cheap content, writes it internally, or creates it algorithmically though markov chains and copying other sources on the internet. It's something where all the information within is directive, and no interaction is required by users except to simply consume and perhaps click on ads. About.com and its ilk? Content farms. Those sites that copy StackOverflow.com posts? Content farms. Those SEO sites you keep pulling up when you search for your domain name? Content farms.
