Hi Jeff,
What are your thoughts on using this and having it post duplicate content.?
Google will just deindex the blog posts you make because they are duplicate content to the original.

I don’t think that’s true – especially if you are posting several different items within one post.
Major news sites do this all the time. You are aggregating content. I might throw in my own editorial comment from time to time as well.

Hey Jeff,
I think this is a great way to add a lot of supplemental content to your blog, especially if you’re struggling to keep up with maintaining the blog. Just use the tool to find some relevant content, make a few editorial comments about it (I usually like to tell people what I found most interesting in the original), and now you have a useful blog post.
I’ve been using Google Reader and other RSS feeds, but the drag-and-drop is very cool. I’m definitely going to check it out.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great review Jeff!
Chuck has it right: “I think this is a great way to add a lot of supplemental content to your blog, especially if you’re struggling to keep up with maintaining the blog.”
That’s why I called it “Utility” Poster. Marketers like us aren’t necessarily the best daily, original content bloggers. Nor should we try to force ourselves to be.
That said, I’ve gotten a great many utility posts in the top 10 in Google and continue to do so for different blogs I manage.
It doesn’t replace the need for original content on your blog, but it does help a lot with the days in between your original posts and as well as the long tail search rankings that can be picked up on “utility” days.
