what the heck is an aggregator?

Ok I will show my ignorance and my dictionary is still in a box somewhere
On the Maiocampo the Site, the word aggregator is used.
What the heck is an aggregator.
Just curious.
By the way am I the only one who doesn't know what it means?
Just wondering.

From the Free On-line Dictionary of Computing:

"A program for watching for new content at user-specified RSS feeds."

Basically, once an hour maiocampo.com reaches out to blogs I specify and looks for new posts. If a new post is found a link to that post is published to the site.
