This is wikipedia's definition of an Aggregator, otherwise known as a feedreader. Think of it as an online mailbox that you get all of your favorite article/posts sent to.

A Feed Reader (lets call it that instead of aggregator) is like an online mailbox that receives only articles/posts from your favorites sites.

Aggregators reduce the time and effort needed to regularly check websites for updates, creating a unique information space or "personal newspaper." Once subscribed to a feed, an aggregator is able to check for new content at user-determined intervals and retrieve the update.
