Idea generation #9: Aggregation plays

I have been trying to think of interesting aggregation plays. Here are some of my draft ideas:

- Across media aggregation for vertical: Get videos, comics, blogs, pictures from different media sites but focuses on similar topic such as a particular animation, drama or game series.

- A hype machine for flash games: To be different from Kongregate and similar competitors, we need to be think more in terms of attention allocation. What else should we aggregate beyond the content to make it easier for the users to get what they want? How about making it easier to download bundles of games to mobile devices? Or how about aggregating games that are mentioned by well known developers?

- Aggregating numbers rather than posts? How about aggregating all the forecasts made by the research companies and allow them to be compared, not only with each other but with their accuracies as well?

- Techmeme for API discussions: Programmable web is the default place for APIs but the discussion is generally dried. We need to need to aggregate conversations that have a bit of technical discussion as well as lots of ides to be more interesting. Something like this. So what kind of code we need to write to piece all this interesting conversation together?
