Best way to create a news aggregator for my company?

[Reggs]

I would like to make a news aggregator for my company that will pull articles about our customers, potential customers, raw materials, Ect...

Whats the best way to go about this and make it available to many people?

Possible solutions:

Use google reader and buzz (it's how google does it internally)
Use Yammler or some other private twitter-like network
Deploy your own reddit (Reddit.com is open-source)

I am sure Conne will work for minimum wage plus all the donuts he can eat. Problem solved.

What is the way you want to share this aggregator?
Your company site or blog?
Private intranet?
And what kind of CMS do you use? PHP, ASP.NET, simple WordPress?

If you have a Wordpress blog you can install the plugin FeedWordpress, choose the source (RSS feed) and it automatically will publish
the content on your site.

My first post wasn't descriptive enough. I made it on my phone so the IT spook doesn't know I visit this forum.

I dont know if there is a service like this, but I want a site that will pull relevant news stories. All the said stories can be reached via a URL. No extensions or anything like that. I want to define all the criteria for the news, then distribute a URL that anyone in the company can use anywhere.

Right now my company just has it's ear to the ground with horribly written(and not always relevant) industry periodicals, and trade show gossip. Most people here are very behind the curve when it comes to technology too. Everyone but me and my boss still use Office 2003 for example. So I dont want anything that would require too much on the users part, otherwise I know it will all be for nothing.

doesn't sound like you need much more than a bunch of Google Alerts delivered to the receptionist that she forwards to the whole company.
