“Websites and blogs for any given topic and display the headlines of the five most recent stories. When you place the cursor over a headline, we display part of the story so that you can decide if you’d like to read it. To read the story, click on its title. To go to the home page of the site, click on its domain name.” (From Alltop.com)

Our friends at HowStuffWorks have posted some information that you might find helpful if you’re interested in exploring Alltop.  Here’s an excerpt.  “The difference between Alltop and an RSS reader service like Google Reader is that the pages focus on topics and sources rather than just news providers. Instead of subscribing to a source like The New York Times’ technology section to learn more about what Apple is up to, you can search for the topic “Apple” on Alltop and see the most recent headlines from dozens of sources. You get access to relevant news without having to scan through everything else.”  Read more…
