## Description

Dell Cloud Connect is a widget/plugin that helps connect cloud computing blogs blogs
around the World. The widget is a content aggregator for cloud computing blog articles.
The aggregator takes content from the highest quality cloud computing blogs and 
presents the titles and a brief summary within the widget.

The widget has a special crawler that goes to a pre-set list of cloud computing 
blogs that are selected based on content quality. It then takes the title of the
latest articles written by that blog and populates the widget sitting on the installer’s
website. Articles within the widget are then ranked based on a variety of social
media factors to present only the best freshest articles.

The goal of Dell Cloud Connect it to help users and publishers to discover new content
and readers.
