Alltop is an aggregator that organizes news and feeds from major publications and individual blogs so readers can check by category and have a whole host of top stories at their fingertips. And they just added moi to their site, under the category of "Life," a subcategory of "Living," which I find quite touching and affirming and perhaps proof even that I do not have to worry anymore about dying.
How do they manage this amazing feat?
Q. How do you decide which sites and blogs are in a topic?
A. We use a patent-pending, semantic computational algorithm derived from the post-doctoral work of Guy at Stanford. Just kidding. We rely on several sources: results of Google searches, review of the sites’ and blogs’ content, researchers, and our “gut” plus the recommendations of the Twitter community, owners of the sites and blogs, and people who care enough to write to us. Let us declare something: The Twitter community has been the single biggest factor in the quality of Alltop. Without this group of mavens and connectors, Alltop would not be what it is today.
