MyAlltop Enables Personal News Aggregation

It’s always interesting to see what ex-Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki is up to, something that’s a bit easier now that he’s become a prolific user of Twitter. Over the last year, he’s been focusing on his news aggregation site Alltop, adding a vast number of categories ranging from arthritis to zoology, from bacon to yoga. But as much as the expansion has been great for making it easier for readers to find blogs and publications that cover their favorite topics, it has become a bit overwhelming – after all, do you really want to read 17 blogs about bacon?

So the latest addition to Alltop is one that will help users rely on the site’s category lists as a source from which to pick a manageable number of sites to track. Once you create your own MyAlltop account and log in, you can click a plus (+) link next to each site listed in Alltop to add it to your own MyAlltop page. Apart from the added capability to arrange the news feeds in whatever order you desire, your MyAlltop page works just like any other Alltop page, showing the five latest headlines and a snippet in a pop-up window when you mouse over a headline. Clicking a headline opens the page in a new tab or window. And, as a nice touch, you can share MyAlltop pages, so you can see what your friends are reading right now – see my MyAlltop page for an example.
