Content aggregation is a simple process of an application that is capable of collecting RSS based site information and providing the user with a list of articles updated from each of the collected sites. The articles are available to view in abstract (shortened) form or the complete article. You can read it within the aggregator application or click on the title and it will take you to the site it originates from. I encourage you to try working with it, and to plan the type of information you want to have access to and the purpose of your “research”. Then, use RSS search engines such as Feedster.com and blogsearch.google.com to search for topics and sites of interest.
The blogroll on this site is a good starting point. Link to some of these sites and see if it provides the type of information that will help you with learning and deepening your skills of web design. When you find a good site, observe that author’s blogroll and discover the people that he/she links to and communicates with. This is a good way to build your own resources.
