  I read a lot of blogs and often post content to Facebook. I have the following idea and I am not sure how easy it is to do or even the precieved ethics of it.

  I would like to create a blog that would contain mostly content from other blogs…but would be very obvious that the content is not mine and would make it very easy for readers to identify the blog and be able to easily click back to the blog (like maybe a clickable header that would show and link to the original site’s article).

  I guess somthing like iOS apps such as Zite, or even like an RSS reader (like Google reader), but with me picking the content.

  Thoughts?

  you would definitely need permission from the writers/authors.

  Not a good idea.

  You would also have problems with the terms of service here – just stuffing a site with other content gets blogs suspended – WordPress.COM likes original content – I have seen many blogs that were suspended for what you want to do.
