AllTop is a news mashup site that claims to bring all latest news, across topics to your desktop. Guy Kawasaki, a well known blogger and strategist, is supposed to be the brain behind this.
Essentially, this is “one site fits all” – that covers a wide range of categories. For instance, there is a category for “PHP”, where another one exists for “Wine”.
Once you enter into a category, a scroll over of links under a source, will display the headline of a particular news item. Interested readers can click on the links to read further.
Appears to be a cool website, but RSS feeds are conspicuous by their absence!
Further changes that would make it much cooler…
- Currently, all categories are organized alphabetically. Instead, the organization must be customizable to the user. I can choose to group all Web 2.0 categories together. Currently there is no such flexibility
- On selecting a category entire page is reloaded and shows only the contents of the category. Instead, they can try partial page reloading (thus retaining the categories page)
