Leech - these modules take news feeds, parse them, and turn them into nodes, making them fully available to Drupal's robust node API
Leech_yahoo_terms – when news articles are turned into nodes, this module sends their text to Yahoo News, handles the response, and turns keywords into taxonomy terms (tags) for each article
Url_profile – this determines the original source of an article, boils it down to its baseurl, and follows up http redirects for finding a feed's base that came in from Feedburner, for example
- url_profile_technorati - this takes a baseurl and pulls information from Technorati using its API and the cosmos, bloginfo, and blogtags queries
- url_profile_alexa - this takes a baseurl and gets a thumbnail of the website and its traffic rank

Tagging gives a story, an image, or anything else a couple of keywords to help define what the thing is all about. So, if you've found an article that talks about HIV/AIDS prevention programs in Africa, you can bookmark it with del.icio.us and give it the tags HIV/AIDS, sexual health, and Africa. Later when you want to write a blog post about AIDS in Africa or compare the different type of HIV prevention programs in use you can go to your del.icio.us bookmarks, look at your tags, and find the article you need without having to run a Google search on it.
Free Tagging on Autopilot | Development Seed Blog :"We’re using the new Yahoo Terms module in the aggregation tools we’re working on to let you search all this content by keyword. Once we’re done, you’ll be able to plug in a bunch of websites that feature content about AIDS in Africa or any other topic and have your website slowly build you a book of current information on the topic that’s fully sortable by keyword. You can take it for a test drive here" => Leech | drupal.org: "used for downloading things to a Drupal site. Leech comes with leech_news which is a news aggregator for RSS/Atom and used along with the required node_template module, can turn articles from news feeds into nodes. Leech is a reincarnation of the Aggregator2 module."
