JAJAH On Top At Alltop
by networkWe are a big fan of Truemors and are always interested in what our ever-busy friend Guy Kawasaki is up to. In March 2008 Guy Kawasaki, Will Mayall and Kathryn Henkens launched Alltop. It’s a great summary of the top news and views on any topic, from politics to pets, ADHD to yoga, all collected neatly on a single page. The pages follow a simple format – URL is topic.alltop.com (e.g. news.alltop.com) and all the main news sources are there. There is a surprising and impressive range of sources, from the usual suspects to the insiders.
“A good metaphor is that Alltop is an ‘online magazine rack’ that displays the news from the top publications and blogs. Our goal is to satisfy the information needs of the 99% of Internet users who will never use an RSS feed reader or create a custom page.” says Guy Kawaski in his blog
You can think of an Alltop site as a ‘digital magazine rack’ of the Internet. 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.”
Alltop is inspired by our friend Thomas Marban’s popurls (who also designed the interface of our popular JAJAH iPhone Web App).
Of course the topic that caught our eye was the newly launched VoIP section with a very familiar looking blog listed high up on the top of AllTop. We are honored to be one of the selected sources keeping you up-to-date with what’s going on in and around IP telephony companies and services along with a bunch of friends including Dameon D. Welch-Abernathy, Garrett Smith, Phil Wolff, Pat Phelan, Luca Filigheddu, Jon Arnold, Alec Saunders, Tom Keating and others.
