    Hi Kurt:

    This is a question rather than a reply. I’m interested in starting a news aggregator. i would really appreciate it if you can give me an idea on how much the starting cost of such an operation would be. Good luck with http://www.techofnow.com.

      Hi John,

      Sorry for the slow reply, I wasn’t aware there was a comment here.

      My costs for building techofnow were very low (domain name costs). I built it from the ground up on my own time.

      If your interested in any more details, feel free to email me at
