This is the basis of RSS aggregators. But this is not the only use of RSS aggregators, which are also very useful in website SEO and improving site rankings.
Generally speaking, a news aggregation website is a website where news headlines are collected, either manually or automatically. Perhaps one of the most well-known news aggregator sites is Google News, which carries out aggregation entirely on autopilot, using algorithms which carry out contextual analysis, grouping together similar stories.
In software terms, a RSS feed aggregator is also known as a feed reader, news reader or simply an aggregator. It is web client software which aggregates syndicated web content such as news headlines, blogs and podcasts into a single location to make reading more convenient..

RSS Mashups
What is a mashup?
Broadly speaking, a mashup is a web page or application that combines data from two or more external sources to create a new service.
Quoting Wikipedia:
"The term mashup implies easy, fast integration, frequently using open APIs and data sources to produce results that were not the original reason for producing the raw source data."
Mashups are regularly produced by combining RSS feeds to form useful coherent resources. One of the most useful feed mashup services is Yahoo! Pipes.
