The Mighty Aggregators

By Guy Brighton on March 15, 2006

Here come the Mighty Aggregators! The new websites are "agg-blogs" which fully utilize RSS feeds to provide content. The trend of the agg-blog is like a hybrid of having the niche market
of a specialty shop while having the catch-all convenience of a mall.

Yes, there is Digg for the techie crowd, but now there two more agg-blogs that cover news and gossip. Newsvine is a news aggregator and group blog with the "digg" component of rating each post. We Smirch is a gossip aggregator that pulls from the news wires and the blogs.

I expect there will be more agg-blogs in the near future covering fashion, food, politics and sex.
