We have just launched a new article and blog feed aggregator for Geospatial Web content:

Aggregated Blog Posts for the Geospatial Web

This aggregator is still in beta testing and it is currently semi-automated. It will be launched as a fully automatic system over the next few weeks. The system polls a number of article and blog feeds that carry a significant amount of geospatial web content. It automatically classifies individual blog posts and articles according to their content, and those that concern the geospatial web are published. Published articles include links to both the original publishing site, and the original article. The above URL gives the latest articles, but it is possible to look back at articles over the past few weeks and months.

The classification algorithm incorporates a learning algorithm and it is still being fine-tuned.

There is also a blog roll of feeds that are regularly polled. Submissions of new feeds (RSS or Atom) are invited. Note that you do not need to do this if you are already being aggregated by Planet Geospatial. Planet Geospatial is already in our list of feeds, and the system was designed to credit each source feed as appropriate. Note: At first sight, this service may appear to be very similar to Planet Geospatial. However there is one very big difference: this service actively filters content at a fine-grained per-article level and it only covers the geospatial web.
