Alltop is the Internet’s Magazine Rack

Share on TwitterSubmit to StumbleUpon

Not long ago, Guy Kawasaki helped start a site called Alltop. Alltop is an aggregator that groups collections of websites into topics such as environment, photography, science, Muslim, celebrity gossip, military, fashion, gaming, sports, politics, automobiles, and Macintosh. At each Alltop site, the organization displays the most current headlines from dozens of sites and blogs.

It’s good to remember that Alltop sites are starting points—they are not destinations. They’re trying to enhance your online reading by both displaying stories from the sites that you’re already visiting and helping you discover sites that you didn’t know existed.

The bottom line is this — if you’re looking for a great site that aggregates a number of other sites into one convenient “magazine rack,” then check out Alltop. It’s a great idea and it’s catching on with everyone.

We’re always looking for new tools at The 60 Second Marketer to make your life easier and more efficient.

Here’s a great one — Alltop is a site that aggregates the top stories from the best websites so that you don’t have to weed through a massive RSS feed of information from other aggregators. They’ve grouped the sites into individual topics such as marketing, blogging, science, PR, Social Media, politics, automobiles and Search Engine Optimization. At each Alltop site, they display the headlines of the latest stories from dozens of sites and blogs.

This, from the Alltop “About Us” page:

“To be clear, Alltop sites are starting points—they are not destinations per se. The bottom line is that we are trying to enhance your online reading by both displaying stories from the sites that you’re already visiting and helping you discover sites that you didn’t know existed. In other words, our goal is the “cessation of Internet stagnation” by providing “aggregation without aggravation.”

Check out Alltop. It’s a great way to make your life easier and more productive.

The 60 Second Marketer is a free online magazine brought to you by BKV Interactive and Direct Response. We try to provide quick updates on the newest tools, tips and techniques in marketing. We also try to accomplish that with a dose of humor or levity. As it turns out, we're pretty good at providing tools, tips and techniques, but we're not actually all that funny. Which would explain why people don't call us "funny" as much as they call us "laughable." Bummer. Our offices, for those of you who are interested, are located in Atlanta (404-233-0332) and Kansas City (913-648-8333). We also have offices on Bora Bora, but they don't have the phones installed yet.
