Came here from a recurrent automated search (HTML) that gets transformed to a feed (RSS/Atom), filtered, highlighted, transformed to email (HTML again), and sent to a silo where I read my alerts in batches, all with a mostly consistent layout and handy keyboard shortcuts.

Should give you an overall idea. I do this to thousands of sites. I like it very much.

I'm also interested in knowing how such aggregate should deal with credits to the authors.
