Summarize often reported news items

Hi,
most of the time the same things are reported nearly identically over multiple sites (e.g. engadget, the verge, arstechnica and techmeme). It would be great if Newsblur could aggregate these items. I think it would be enough if this summary just contains the headlines and maybe one or two lines of the item’s content (kind of like a news item that looks like the feed view).

What do you think about that?

Keep up the great work.

Whew doggy, this is an enormous feature. It’s on my bucket list of boy-wouldnt-it-be-great’s.
