Content Aggregator

A content aggregator is an entity that pulls together web or media content, applications or both from online sources for reuse or resale. It’s a means of curating content. Two types of content aggregators exist:

• those who gather news and other materials from various sources for publication on their own Web sites
• those who syndicate content, gathering and distributing material that suits their customers’ needs

Content aggregation involves collecting materials in one place, such as:

• blogs
• newsletters
• newspaper and magazine articles
• social media posts

It’s possible to aggregate content manually, but in today’s data-driven world, automated content aggregation, with the help of software tools, is more common and practical.

• enhance your marketing efforts as part of a content marketing strategy
• power your business applications
• drive your corporate intranet
• empower you to add value to customers
• keep you up to date on industry information
