As many people have noted above the main problem with this aggregator like all the others is content. No one has access to what everyone wants and needs. Facebook closed, Twitter API can't be used for profit, Myspace mostly closed. These are the sources that bring value to aggregation but they are also the ones that are closed to aggregators.

The traffic momentum that DailyRadar has built with these niche sites is undeniable. These sites look to be almost entirely automated so the margins on this have got to be amazing, despite the ad downturn. Hats off to the Future US team for excellent execution. Sometimes it's better to focus on building a sustainable high-margin business model than worrying about pleasing the tech elite with innovation.
