Top Picks: Crowd-Sourced News Aggregators
We researched many crowd-sourced news aggregator sites to see which ones were “musts” for our content contribution. We got a feel for each of the sites, and below are a list of our top picks.
Again, these picks are in no particular order. Social Media Power is not affiliated with any of these sites, and we simply provide this list as a courtesy to our readers. The best way to discover your favorites is to visit each site individually. Please note that these sites are for “general” content, and there may be niche sites out there more relevant to your industry. And remember to respect submission guidelines.
