An aggregator is software or a web application that collects updated content such as blogs, podcasts, and videos from websites into a single place. It presents RSS feeds, which use XML to structure information, to users through software called a news aggregator. Aggregators reduce the time and effort of regularly checking multiple websites for new content. There are different types of aggregators including web-based readers, feed reader applications, social news aggregators, and those aware of media biases.
