News Bump is the best of these that I've seen. The interface is clean and the content just seems more interesting than the others.

Nice article....I'm amazed by how I'm finding links to aggregation sites everywhere! How many are in this game? What are their competitive differentiators? The differences seem few and far between.

Still, I'm on the hunt for one that smartly aggregates so that I can have stuff at-my-fingertips. Did a blog post yesterday about this too: http://borsch.typepad.com/ctd/2006/01/informati...

Aggregating links is easy. Putting them in to some new form is easy too. What's hard is parsing, analyzing and presenting content within those links. User-centric ranking sites (e.g., Digg) are pretty cool, but what would be cooler would be to have this kind of social promotion *after* the machine parsing occurred...giving a reader more targeted and higher value content.

I'm growing weary of all the aggregators.

Personally, I don't think the proposition of paying bloggers for their writing will be the "winning concept" that the VCs are likely betting on with $6 million.

Now, I'm biased (heh...) but I see a valuable proposition in offering bloggers a grassroots-built network where they get free review materials, professional guidance in terms of story writing *and* free editing services, and a platform in which to hit a much wider audience than in the smaller pond of an individual blog. The reader is then served by finding a one-stop shop, an online magazine of superior blogging.
