Feewordpress is a WordPress plug-in that serves as a news aggregator for your blog. It supports Atom and RSS currently.
What can you do with it? You instal it on your blog and find some RSS feeds that you want to use. You add the feeds in the control panel and then it will take the content from the feeds and put it as posts on your wordpress blog. You can have it check the feeds for updates automatically via a cron job or you can do it manually ,say, once a day. You can also choose in what category the posts are made for each feed or have it just post them in the default category.
