aggregator

Popularo is a user driven social news aggregation website launched in February 2008. It is based on the theory that a user should vote for the content or topic in question, not for the person that submitted it.

After users submit something to Popularo, it becomes available in a random voting box for other users to make a decision about in a "hot or not" style, rapid-fire voting system. Only the title and headline are displayed in the voting box to help prevent bias or voting fraud.

ReadBurner analyzes what people are sharing with their personal social networks on a variety of services to determine the best content across the Web. With an increasing amount of news consumption taking place in RSS readers and personalized start pages versus traditional web sites, ReadBurner aggregates the most frequently shared content from these next generation services to determine what's popular.
