Information overload? Not anymore. Single Page Aggregators are the new wave of web 2.0 portals and directories. Instead of aggregating web sites, the Single Page Aggregators track the feeds from those sites.
Until now Popurls and Original Signal only tracked a few popular topics. Recently Alltop covering a much broader range of topics, was launched by Guy Kawasaki, who wants to change the world by aggregating RSS For The Masses .
Alltop will certainly appeal to those who need an easy way to follow many topics or don’t use yet a feed reader.
I have my own Single Page Aggregator at emapey | FeedRaider where I can quickly scan the feeds from the Education sites I follow. You can create yours too. Now, by using Alltop, I can also follow feeds in many other topics.
emapey | FeedRaider and Alltop are both part of my PLE (Personal Learning Environment)

Hi, I use Pageflakes a lot, but Feedraider seems to be a good way for quick scanning too

Very impressed with your organization and wealth of information. You and Guy Kawasaki should get together to incorporate the best of both worlds!
