Again, Google News doesn't aggregate entire articles. We all know that, so why waste bandwidth or your own credibility on false analogies?

Nor did I suggest aggregating tourist sites would involve entire articles. a headline and opening paragraph would be sufficient:

In sollicitudin blandit felis, sit amet adipiscing lacus mollis sed. Curabitur dictum diam sit amet ligula tempor rutrum. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit...read more from example.com View all 1250 Articles from Around the Web <adsense code here>

Are you OK with something like that? That is really a pretty simple script to put up.

It is quite different than a directory, ala DMOZ/Yahoo where the title and accompanying text are either written by the editor or provided by the site owner or other submitting user.
