I'm excited because I'm seeing people start to build public aggregators and realize that there's an art to maintaining a good, readable aggregator, just as there's an art to blogging...

The truth is that most sites running Content Management Systems have the ability built in for aggregation. KnowProSE.com aggregates content that I think suitable, and does so automatically. It's been doing that for about a year. Yet, the role of KnowProSE.com isn't really regional - and so the aggregator isn't regional. Frankly, I could set up Drupal to cover aggregation using categories, and do it such that it's done in a way that overlaps were handled. So I don't get the aggregator buzz.

It's one of the major benefits of <a href="http://www.livejournal.com" rel="nofollow">LiveJournal's "Friends page" feature, as well as the threaded comments LJ allows. To try and help people follow just the UAE ones, I created a </a><a href="http://uaecommunity.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">UAE community blog</a> with a <a href="http://www.blogrolling.com" rel="nofollow">Blogroll</a> down the side, which is much easier to keep updated than having to edit the overall template, or maintain a blog guide, which I had also tried. I also created an aggregation at <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/public/secretdubai" rel="nofollow">Bloglines</a> of all the active UAE blogs I could find. RSS makes things easier, but I still don't think the perfect solution has yet been made for UAE bloggers. I'll definitely be checking out the other links here.

There will be both a free and a paid version.
