Is unique content overrated?

While I do have a few niche sites that rely on submitted articles and the like, almost everything I write tends to be 'unique content'. Of course you can be pedantic and quibble over the definition, but generally I view it as writing a few pages about something you know and understand in such a manner that it is both readable and understandable by the target audience.

Personally I also considering recompiling data from several sources into a new and more lucid article 'unique content'. This is, of course, a world apart from the copy and paste world of copyright violations and plagiarism, hmmm.

Addenda: As for the worth of unique content - well D'oh! I've seen my hits jump by 30-50,000 in a month from a few well written, topical articles. Not bad for a little typing, hmmm.

I think that it is overrated, but still valuable. I can write an article of unique content in about 1hr (600+ words) But it is awfully boring to do.

If you're looking for mystery, excitement, and adventure you are in the wrong business, go dig up some ancient artifacts :P

Unique content will always be king. If you don't think so, it really isn't that unique.
