news aggregators  

Definition

  • News aggregators combine computer software and journalistic practices to enable online computer users to collect news stories and other information as that information is published and to organize the information in a specific, personalized manner. This is accomplished in several ways, but the most common is the use of HTML (hypertext mark-up language) coding on the websites of news-gathering organizations to create RSS (really simple syndication) feeds and other public notifications of instant updates to news content.
