Alltop
Alltop aggregates news from a variety of websites and serves them up in an appealing format that allows you to scan a large number of headlines and summaries from a wide variety of sources in a very short time. This is a case where a picture is worth 1,000 words, so check out Figure 23-1.
Figure 23-1 shows the custom Alltop page I created at http://my.alltop.com/levitus
so I could scan the headlines of my favorite websites quickly and easily. My cursor is hovering over a story (“Rumor: Siri coming to iPad in iOS 6”), which is one of those Mac Observer opinion pieces I mention earlier in this chapter.
Figure 23-1: Hover the cursor over any headline, and Alltop provides a concise summary of the story.
Notice the little summary, which appears only when I hover my cursor over that story, which is in the little box with “4 June 2012 | 8:39 am” as its headline in Figure 23-1. That’s Alltop’s killer feature, at least in my humble opinion.
You can build your own customized Alltop page at http://my.alltop.com

Alltop isn’t just for Mac news. There are Alltop pages for a plethora of subjects, including
Marketing: http://marketing.alltop.com
