[...] It is finally live so I can talk about it. Some time ago David asked how to aggregate 100+ feeds in a single site. He got some very interesting answers, most notably one pingback from Mark Cahill. [...]

You might want to check out The Participatory Fnd.’s Miro media player, specifically their Video Bomb feature. It allows your community to aggregate, tag and share video feeds embedded into your homepage. Essentially RSS feeds for video, which your core users, say tops fans for each athlete would prob. love to be given the power to highlight their inspiration athletes.

I blogged on the topic…here’s a summary.

1. I don’t like the shrink wrap solutions – all blogs have RSS and it’s too easy to slice and dice RSS content – consider roll your own.
2. Tagging and categorization strategy is key.
3. Aggregation is simple content management – think of it that way and you can really make things happen.

RSS is XML and XML is content separated from style – it’s your job to reapply the style, so do it well.

[...] David Churbuck posts this morning on Blog Aggregation.Â We both did a blog aggregation project over at Reel-Time.com in 2003 which, as he notes, was well ahead of the curve (and probably the need).Â He’s got some excellent points, but I have a few things to add. [...]

Thanks. Good suggestions. Netvibes is a little bleak and more evocative of our Google built Olympic Podium than I’d like. I was thinking something like http://www.lenovoblogs.com but more robust and dynamic.

Sounds a lot like netvibes.com or a social media newsroom where you have more design control – http://www.shiftcomm.com/newsroom/
