Idea behind this site is to aggregate interesting blogs / discussions  
related to software testing field and keep it at one place. Have a  
look at the [http://www.testingreflections.com/](http://www.testingreflections.com/) , this site pretty  
much provides the similar functionality. The way it would work is -

1. In the admin system I’ll provide some information about the feed  
this i will do

2. Based on this information - there should be some periodic job which  
will run at a specific time, fetch latest article etc from their feed  
and populate in our DB (give idea about this )

3. Look at couple of feeds - they should all have similar fields and  
we need to extract all the relevant data from them.

4. This aggregator should support all the popular feed format like -  
RSS / ATOM etc
