This is getting annoying... There are a number of news aggregation sites that pull from feeds from other websites or just link to posts on their sites. This is fine, in that I can hit one website and then see headlines from a number of websites.
However, I'm starting to notice that aggregators are aggregating from other aggregators. For example, Updates.com pulls from XMLMania.com which in turn grabbed a post from NewsForge which finally pulled a story from Computerworld New Zealand. Four freaking clicks just to get to the story I was marginally interested in reading. How is this better than just going to all the main sites?
