There’s a lot of information out there on the Internet, and finding your way through it is a challenge to say the least. RSS has helped the problem in a big way by giving us the ability to subscribe to content that we like so that it comes to us, but then again, it’s all too easy to subscribe to an abundance of feeds and become overwhelmed when new content is flowing into our aggregators on a continual basis throughout the day. I’ll never give up my RSS reader, but there are other ways to stay informed about the content that’s coming from a multitude of sources. Alltop features multiple topics that serve as a starting point in leading you to the latest information on the sites that you love.

Alltop is notable due to the fact that Guy Kawasaki is one of the people behind it, but what’s crazy about this service is that almost any Web developer who has even limited programming skills could have built it. Essentially, Alltop highlights a number of content sources and displays the latest headlines from them. You can hover over the headlines to get some more information and then click on the links to visit the actual pages. Due to the simplicity of this functionality, there are other services like this that are out there, but before you say that Alltop is worthless, try it out and see what you think. Who knows, it may actually save you some time.
