1. A system for collecting, correlating and aggregating syndicated-format edited content with non-edited content, said system comprising:
an infolet for receiving syndicated-format edited content, said syndicated-format edited content comprising standard source system attributes,
an access gateway for receiving non-edited content, said non-edited content comprising non-text content;
a content processor that converts at least a portion of said non-text content into a text content, said content processor creates a set of description schema attributes, said description schema attributes being based on user-supplied input or information extracted from the non-text content;
a content database that stores said non-text content, said text content and said description schema attributes, said content database establishes non-text content pointers for the stored non-text content and text content pointers for the stored text content;
a blog infolet that provides a syndicated-style data presentation of a first user's web blog, said syndicated-style data presentation comprises at least one of said non-text pointers and said text pointers; and
an aggregator infolet that correlates said syndicated-format edited content and said syndicated-style data using said standard source system attributes and said description schema attributes, into a correlated cluster set according to a second user's query, said aggregator infolet produces said correlated cluster as an aggregated syndicated-style data feed.
