Nonprofit Info Smorgasbord

Do you have a huge number of blog and news feeds in your feedreader that you can't possibly keep up with on a daily basis? Or, on the other end of the spectrum, have you resisted deciphering those three little letters, RSS, and continue to check your bookmarked links regularly to see if your favorite web pages have updated? Now there is a new -- and incredibly simple -- solution. Guy Kawasaki, whom I used to read in Macworld Magazine when he was the original brand evangelist, recently started a new network of websites called Alltop.com. Based on the popurls model, the sites -- each focusing on a specific topic -- show the latest five posts from a wide range of news sources and blogs covering that topic, all on one page. Topics include celebrities, health, "green," social media, small business and many others. I suggested to Guy that he create a "nonprofit" topic and worked with him to identify news and blog feeds that should be included. And that's how nonprofit.alltop.com was born. Like a smorgasbord, you can eat as much or as little as you want. Scan the headlines to see what looks good. Hover the mouse over a headline to get a taste of the full text. Or click on an item that looks especially yummy and go to the original site to eat the whole thing. Maybe you'll even discover some new sites you didn't know about before.
