Alltop and Guy Kawasaki

10.03.08

ok Guy Kawasaki email me about his new site http://alltop.com/
quote from the email :

We recently released a website that is a collection of “single-page aggregations” organized by topics such as Fashion, Celebrities, Sports, Gaming, Macintosh, Science, Green, and Autos. Your feed is at this topic: http://SEO.alltop.com/
Here people can find SEO news from dozens of sites, side-by-side, at a glance. I hope that you will like it ….. blah blah

Ok I don’t know Guy, but friends speak highly of Him thats why he is getting blog space here…

Ok, First off I don’t like it I just don’t feel it brings my anything new, now if you could add a a couple of things I would like it,
the ability for me the user to customise my own page, so I can add feeds into a central point where alltop can then try and get a feel for what’s missing in my central feed, and by giving me new choices built up from what the other user feeds are :

say I have 3 car feeds , 4 seo feeds, 1 designer clothes feed pushed to my central user area, other users with similar matches could offer me “Omega Watch Feeds” or “Mobile phone feeds” or whatever rocks their boats. but the quality is maintain by alltop not just the user base.

Anyway I wish you luck.

    Yes Guy is fantastic! He is big inspiration for many of us. Sometimes we need just little inspiration to move forward and Guy is one of guys I always come back when I need to look things from different perspective where solutions just pop-up.

    Ok, what’s the difference between this and just including your favorite feeds in your google or yahoo page?

    Is Blackhat SEO really one of the top 25 SEO blogs?

    And how the heck is this thing going to make any money?

    I agree with you, it does not add any real value for me either. Just another directory!

    Guy ripped off popurls –even says so in the “about” page or nearby. He gives them a nice hat-tip, though. Gee, thanks says popurls.
