What do you think of crowdfunding project aggregators?

Have seen more and more of these popping up like:

CrowdfundFusion - http://www.crowdfundfusion.com/
Crowdfunding4All - http://cf4all.com/
CrowdFundInsider directory - http://directory.crowdfundinsider.com/
CrowdHub - http://crowdhub.io/

Would you use a crowdfunding project aggregator to find cool projects across platforms, or would you be more likely to just go to the platform itself?

I'm usually really hesitant to use anyone who calls them self an aggregator. I never know if they really know what they are doing or not. Have you had success with aggregators like this?

I don't find these useful at all, I've backed many projects but only rely on KS for the moment,

Everything I have heard show they don't help at all.

I hadn't heard of most of these and I don't know what kind of user needs this service. It seems more like a business opportunity to try and grab Project Developers to spend additional marketing for their campaign with no clear return on the investment.

As a project creator, I understand wanting to cast a wide net, but what you really want to do is meet influencers or people that GET your project. Not just a few random eyeballs.

the idea is good, but i'd like to go to the platform to check by myself.
