## Description

 is a widget/plugin that helps connect blogs blogs around the World. The widget 
is a content aggregator for blog articles. The aggregator takes content from the
highest quality blogs and presents the titles and a brief summary within the widget.

The widget has a special crawler that goes to a pre-set list of blogs that are selected
based on content quality. It then takes the title of the latest articles written
by that blog and populates the widget sitting on the installer’s website. Articles
within the widget are then ranked based on a variety of social media factors to 
present only the best freshest articles.

The goal of it to help users and publishers to discover new content and readers.
