New Aggitator, er Aggregator

Thanks to Aaron, we now know about Joongel. It is currently in beta, but the home page is really neat! Set up like a graph, the left column has topics from images, tech, general, gossip to Q&A. The icons are searchable independently or as a group, but it is really easy to just use the top bar to add your search, pick your category, and boom - have your best choices available to you.

Now for those who know me well, the idea of using the most popular sites for our base sources aggravates me. What about those really good sources that are not that popular? If you look at the sources used, you may even think to yourself, well what about source x, or they are not using y. Many of the sources they are using I am not familiar with. So in that sense, this is a great tool for learning a few new sites. Also, maybe someone could do the same thing on lesser known but very good sites. Maybe there should be one for academic or business or other areas. Maybe there is, and if so, maybe we should be using them in our daily activities. So much to play with, so little time...
