Space spiders, solar accretion discs, the web and planets

Short talk by Matt Webb were he mentions a story about the space spiders in the rings of Saturn who are attempting to return the solar system to the accretion disc days. They form links between the tiny parts of the accretion disc, spinning harps and connections that form a web across the rings and across the solar system.

The analogy is that of the web and what we are seeing now with the formation of planets such as Google, Yahoo!, Facebook and so on. How big and bland they are compared to the multitudinal beauty of what is in the rings and accretion disc of the web.
