WEB DIRECTORY
A web directory or link directory is a directory on the World Wide Web. It specializes in linking to other web sites and categorizing those links.
A web directory is not a search engine and does not display lists of web pages based on keywords; instead, it lists web sites by category and subcategory. Most web directory entries are also not found by web crawlers but by humans. The categorization is usually based on the whole web site rather than one page or a set of keywords, and sites are often limited to inclusion in only a few categories. Web directories often allow site owners to directly submit their site for inclusion, and have editors review submissions for fitness.
RSS directories are similar to web directories, but contain collections of RSS feeds, instead of links to web sites. - Web Directory - Wikipedia.
NEWS AGGREGATION WEBSITES
Examples of this sort of website are the Drudge Report and the Huffington Post. There are also websites like Google News, where aggregation is entirely automatic, using algorithms which carry out contextual analysis and group similar stories together.
News aggregation websites started with sites like The Blaze the Drudge Report, NewsNow, breitbart.com and the Huffington Post. Such websites differ from automated aggregation news sites by virtue of the selective process exercised at the human level. - News Aggregation Websites.
