Aggregage
Founder and CTO
Aggregage is the next generation of business media. Over the next few years we will be creating 1,000 online communities by bringing together content from the best sources... more around particular topics. We identify a topic (Social Media, eLearning, Human Resources, Leadership, etc), find high-quality sources around that topic, and then display their posts on a new site dedicated to that given topic. The original site on eLearning has become the highest traffic site on that topic.
Marketers, companies, nonprofits and causes are using this as part of their social and content marketing strategies. This approach greatly reduces the need for content creation and puts the brand at the center of blogging activity - a critical step in effective blogger relations.
Associations and publishers are using this as a means of growing traffic and leverage high quality content being created by bloggers and other sources.
