Have you seen Alltop?
I LOVE. LOVE. this interface for blasting through a lot of headlines & summaries fast. I wish my RSS reader could do this. Way to go, Electric Pulp.
Alltop has nine category sites: Celebrities, Egos, Fashion, Gaming, Mac, Oddities, Politics, Science and Sports.
Each site displays:
- Array of popular sources.
- Last 5 posts from each.
- Summaries on hover.
The look is sexy. I love the translucent static color bar that brands the site and houses the (minimalist) administrative links for the page.
Is this a future for RSS that will make sense and catch on “outside of the fishbowl?”
I also appreciate that “Egos” makes a point of promoting women’s voices. I noticed right away since Lena, Jeremiah and Geoff recently highlighted the topic. Thumbs up!

Full disclosure: Guy is a friend and gave me a sneak preview of this last month. Nice feeling, but that’s not why I’m raving about it.

It’s a pop-culture version of http://popurls.com!
Sexy is the word! I said pretty, but to quote from Outkast lyrics it’s “so fresh, and so clean.”

Even though, like many others, I use a reader and NetVibes, etc. I NEED this tool.
