Awash in News Aggregators: Is there any real innovation or are we just saturated in too much of the same thing?

With the amount of information users are sharing increasing at an astronomical rate and the Zuckerbergs among us leveraging this for their personal gain, we need to ask just how much information is enough and how will we be using it. (James Gleick already has written a book on this very topic and the reviews have been pretty favorable) Now, a new trend has emerged with an onslaught of various News Aggregators all vying for our attention: NewsClusters, FeedFly, News360, and of course the old standbys Fark, DrudgeReport and Google News. Are any one of these the best or has the market become completely saturated with companies innovating less and less and bombarding us with more and more apps, RSS readers, headline collections, and nifty interfaces for what amount to pretty much the same thing in different packages.
