Aggravating aggregator

November 13, 2006 · Leave a Comment

I’m subscribed to Spotback. It’s a service that emails me a roundup of news twice a day. What’s aggravating about this aggregating is that I frequently get links to other news roundup services. So yesterday I clicked on a Spotback link that took me to dnzone, where I clicked on another link which took me to the actual site. Two clicks, a wait, and a waste of time. I can understand if this happens in a service like rojo/delicious/digg which is user driven. I do not condone it in Spotback, there are no users to take responsibility for contributions to a spotback roundup.
