First lets start with some simple feeds. Squidoo makes this easy by providing an RSS module. All you need to do is to add the correct feed and the module will populate itself.
You can join DIGG which is also a News Aggregator. This is how it works. Registered users submit news worthy news stories, blog entries, videos, Forums, pictures, and link back to the web address. Registered users can rate the submission with votes, and the highest-ranked stories can earn a position on Digg's front page. This is great for getting a high Page Ranking in the search engines.
