Great Post.Nice site, I love the Idea, tough I don’t like the design as for a non tech savvy, it may be extremely difficult to navigate it.It looks a bit like a site for geeks, but well done, very good execution. He’s an inspiring Guy.

I have been fan of alltop for some time (and my blog has been featured in the leadership page for a short while). I think much of the “bad press” it received in the early days was from people who knew how to use rss feeds and did not see much value added in the service. For people (like me) who are keen to read blogs but did not know where and how to find the relevant ones Alltop has been a revelation.

I am not sure the myalltop feature is value added however as I personally find that part of the beauty of the magazine rack concept is that you discover new magazines rather than stick to your usual ones.

Great post thanks for the insights

Another bonus resulting from the success of AllTop is that sites listed with the service are getting more traffic. It’s easy to aggregate content. Far harder to actually send any significant amount of traffic to the original sites.

To me that’s a mark of success with this model because I’ve never gotten any significant traffic from any other site like AllTop, and I feel like I’ve tried them all!

I have become a much bigger fan of the site with the implementation of my.alltop.com. I really enjoy being able to choose my own listings and alltop is waaaay more mobile friendly than iGoogle.

the design could have been better looking.

AllTop Kind of reminds me of http://addictomatic.com/

AllTop is a much easier name to remember. Took me 10 minutes to remember that addictomatic site.

Interesting post. I definitely agree that so long as an idea is solid, and well executed, it doesn’t need to be mind blowing. AllTop’s traffic speaks for itself, there is a demand for the website, despite the competitive niche.
