comparing the travel aggregators
The idea behind an aggregator is simple in that it provides information from multiple sources to the end user through a single interface as if all of the data came from the same source. Perhaps the best examples, or at least most easily understood, are the search engines people use to compare airline fares.
This link goes to a good review (survey) of the different travel aggregators that are out there. It also makes me wonder when someone is just simply going to write an aggregator to gather all of the information from the different aggregators.
