For those of you not keeping up on the latest and greatest in the blogosphere, Alltop has been showcasing some of the best blogs online.

We help you explore your passions by collecting stories from “all the top” sites on the web. We’ve grouped these collections — ”aggregations” — into individual Alltop sites based on topics such as environment, photography, science, celebrity gossip, fashion, gaming, sports, politics, automobiles, and Macintosh. At each Alltop site, we display the latest five stories from thirty or more sites on a single page — we call this “single-page aggregation.”

Acting as a massive aggregator of key sites, Guy Kawasaki and crew have put together a single page with specific niches. From Social Media (where this site is featured) to Lifehacks, Finance and Gadgets. These are all held in 9 separate categories and you can drill in from there.

Guidewire has a blog that is a about emerging technology and wrote a quick post with some backgroud of Alltop.

Behind this collection is Guy Kawasaki, Apple-Evangelist-turned-entrepreneur’s-guru. He writes a popular blog himself, speaks frequently, writes best-selling books, and is generally the man about Silicon Valley. In short, he has a perspective and he’s broadcasted his point of view for much of the last 20 years. Whether you know Guy or not, you think you do. It’s that perspective that enables you to interpret the collection - the curation - at Alltop.

Simply put, Alltop is the stuff Guy likes. But more than that, it is the stuff that people who like Guy like. In collecting these links, Guy went to his community on Twitter and asked his followers what they liked. And they, in turn, put him on to a wide range of sites that he’d not known before.

IttyBiz runs a site that is a place to get tips, advice, motivation, and support for your very small business. Anyone interested in entrepreneurship, marketing and blogging should subscribe to this RSS feed. When their site was added to Alltop they had this to say.

The cool kids are saying that Alltop will help non-RSS people start reading blogs regularly. This is, shall we say, highly cool.

So you don’t even need to rely on RSS readers to read a great blog using Alltop.

Besides having your blog added to a directory, you get the added benifits of being supported by a superstar in the industry and associated with other outstanding sites like Mashable.
