Guy Kawasaki announces news aggregator site

Guy Kawasaki has officially announced Alltop, a news aggregation site that provides “all the top” stories for forty of the most popular topics on the Web. The headlines and first paragraph of the five most recent stories from forty to eighty sources for each topic are displayed. Alltop stories are refreshed approximately every ten minutes.

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. Think of it as "aggregation without the aggravation.” The easiest way to understand the value of Alltop is to try it:

You get up in the morning and need to get a quick overview of the world news. Then you want to check what the biggest industry egos have to say as well as the latest in social media for your job. And yes, you can admit that you’re kind of a sports junkie—heck, even extreme sports, so you check out a few stories there too.
