Might Be the Best Way to Get Your Info

Alltop, all the cool kids (and me)

Do you subscribe to your favorite websites? Do you know that some people believe that subscriptions in readers may be things of the past? One of the stars of the web, Guy Kawasaki , has come up with a compelling way to more efficiently scan the top headlines from the top blogs, categorized by topic. It’s another of his many innovative websites and it’s called Alltop . What’s up with the name? Well, in Kawasaki’s words, Alltop compiles all the top stories from around the web in about 50 of the most sought after categories (e.g., moms, dads, politics).

You’ll easily stay current and know what everyone’s talking about in whatever topics you find most interesting or relevant to your life.

The home page looks refreshingly clean, with eight main topic headings (work , living , people , interests , culture , geekery , good , and news ). So the site is great for experienced surfers as well as casual novices.

As of today, you can see the Alltop badge over there on the right because I’m honored to find this humble blog among the many mom blogs . Visit Alltop . Browse through the many categories and I’d be surprised if you’re not hooked with that first click.

Hello Soap. I LOVE Alltop and have used it for a couple of weeks now. Of course, I still use a reader because it doesn’t have all my favorite blogs listed. But it has helped me find some really good blogs that I then added to my reader. Might be defeating the purpose, but there it is.

Congrats for being listed….clearly deserved.

Thanks for pointing me to this tool. Kawasaki was known to me but AllTop wasn’t. Looks like it’s very updated.

Thanks soap !
