Aggregators

Wouldn't it be nice for you to have someone gather all the information, news, data, and research, synthesize that information by topic and put it all in one place where you can quickly browse and find what you need to read?

That's what aggregators do. According to your paradigms, aggregators pull information from blogs and websites you've designated and compiles those entries chronologically with a brief summary/intro to the post.

Aggregators are also called readers, the most popular being, of course Google Reader.

There are several types of readers or aggregators:
  • News aggregator, a computer software or website that aggregates news from other news sources.
  • Poll aggregator, a website that aggregates polling data for upcoming elections.
  • Review aggregator, a website that aggregates reviews for movies.
  • Video aggregator, a website that collects and organizes online movie sources.
  • Search aggregator, software that runs on a user's computer and fetches, filters, and organizes a specific search from various search engines.
