Maybe it really could be a gateway in that it's a combination of an RSS Reader type thing and a set of vetted sources.<BR/><BR/>My guess is that they were really thinking of it as something other than that - making many different public portals.Tony Karrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408035995182843336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-57095765289923355732009-03-19T02:19:00.000-07:002009-03-19T02:19:00.000-07:00Tony, I just created an account at alltop after re...Tony, I just created an account at alltop after reading your post. Once logged in i really wasn't able to figure out what to do next, i couldn't even find my way back to the homepage. Event he UI seems to have some errors. Even clicking a Next button opens up another window. Honestly, I don't think AllTop will go a long way if it remains this way.<BR/><BR/>SreyaSreya Duttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192430690556080322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-57111555727210637312009-03-17T12:24:00.000-07:002009-03-17T12:24:00.000-07:00I use Alltop like a rss browser.

I read rss daily and go to Alltop occasionally to scan what else might be going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-49031667090770475972009-03-17T11:06:00.000-07:002009-03-17T11:06:00.000-07:00The mashable post mentions it as a good tool for t...The mashable post mentions it as a good tool for the more mainstream user. Perhaps you're too deep into all of this to see it's value?<BR/><BR/>I could see browsing this on an occasional basis.

People seem to get very excited about it, but as far as I can see it's an aggregator where someone else chooses the content for you, and decides how it will be presented to you. <BR/><BR/>Very web 1.3.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
