News aggregators and blogrolls
An online news aggregator is a webpage or service that collects syndicated content from disparate sources and provides a consolidated view. Aggregators substantially improve upon the time and effort needed to regularly check websites of interest for updates. Through subscriptions to syndicated content feeds and the aggregator’s periodic collection of updates, users are able to create a unique information space that caters to their specific needs. A blogroll is a collection of links to other weblogs.
