From the GeoWeb Guru blog referencing ESRI's announcement : "Have you ever wanted to share some of your great maps with the rest of the world? Or maybe just easily share some of your work with a colleague? Well, the new ArcGIS Online sharing application, now open for public beta access, can be used as a system for sharing, finding and using GIS content across the Web. With ArcGIS Online, you can upload maps, register online map services, create and save Web maps as items for others to share, and discover and use maps published by ESRI and other ESRI users. You can organize and control access to the maps you share by making them public or private, and you can create and join groups."

    Let me get this straight: it does basically what I can already do, for free, with WMS/WFS and open source desktop GIS, but they want me to pay for it. Move along people, nothing to see here...
