In a way I can see how you got there, but I still think you may have copyright issues: Say, for example, there's a Web site that likes an article another Web site has published. So that first site grabs the entire article, post it on their Website without permission, and then give source and link information back --- most publishers are going to consider that a copyright violation. Again, would be different if not the entire article -- few paragraphs and a link would be OK, but with entire article and no previous permission, probable copyright violation (at least enough to request it be taken down).
I know law changes/not everyone sees it the same/different courts rule differently, but if one accepts that taking an article in full and republishing on another site (even if sourced/linked back) without permission is a copyright violation, I'm not sure that you doing the same thing (and on a wider scale) isn't also a copyright violation, even if the final article is presented on a different medium.
I'm so very much not a lawyer (pretty obviously), just someone with a publishing background, but it might be worth you talking with a copyright lawyer just to make sure you're on solid ground before you launch it with the content/way you're currently planning.
