One or more items submitted by user-contributors of a website may be aggregated according to aggregation criteria. The aggregation criteria may specify a topic or type of item to be included in the aggregation. The aggregation criteria may be generated a priori by a user of the website and/or may be generated on-the-fly based on a search, inbound link, or the like. User contributed items may be associated with metadata and/or tags. The items and, importantly the metadata associated therewith, may be rated by users of the website. The item ratings, the metadata, and/or the metadata ratings may be used to aggregate relevant items, thereby increasing the probability that the aggregation closely matches the aggregation criteria. The aggregated items may be presented in a user interface to one or more users of the website.
