Check out Alltop

It is a challenge to get even the barest sample of the internet. There are millions of blogs. There are thousands of newspapers. This Amazon river tourent of information has prompted several solutions.

One of which is RSS (Really Simple Syndication) This allows tools like Google Reader to give you a quick view of your favorite blogs and/or web sites.

Another approach is to find web sites like Reddit or Digg which allow people to submit interesting links.

I also follow some blogs like Instapundit which cover a wide range of topics.


I have just added a new tool, Alltop. Alltop allows you to select topics and then they present blogs which cover the topic and the recent posts. For example here is the link on homeschooling.

It looks well thought out and useful.


Now maybe I'll be able to capture 0.0000002% (up from 0.0000001%) of all the information floating across the internet!
