This week's question comes from a reader who is facing a dilemma that I am sure is rampant among even the tech savvy creative people out there: am I required to be publicly online in order to get ahead at this point, and if I am, how do I do it well? This week's request was worded so well, I will le...

I had seen mention of the new news aggregation site TechFuga a week or so ago but didn’t really look into it as I figured that I had enough aggregators churning the waters. Then tonight I saw a comment on FriendFeed by Robert Scoble where he was pointing to it while tearing Gabe Rivera of Techmeme...

I was just looking at my traffic stats just the other day and noticed quite a fair number a referrals from Alltop. On closer inspection, I discovered we are featured in their Shanghai section!

The A-list is dead! Long live the A-list! Long live the — ! … ahem. Guy “I can’t believe somewhat someone bought Truemors” Kawasaki has added yet another subdomain to his endless list of Alltop (what popURLs would be if someone decided to aggregate feeds of all kinds) c...

I’ve been impressed with Ari and Tom (the founders of FitrBox) for their drive and passion over the last year.  Whenever I have needed a swift kick in the ass or a clarification of a complex startup ideology, they have been there. I was looking at AllTop, a site built by my friends over at El...

Back in April we wrote about Flock partnering with Alltop to create a green version of the social media browser that includes Alltop as the default start page.
