In my blog-browsing on Friday, I noticed a graphic on Tim Heuer's site about Alltop ... I'd never seen that before, so thought I'd see what it was about.

Turns out it's a site that Guy Kowasaki has a hand in that aggregates other people's feeds on many subjects, not the least of which is RIA, which is where I found Tim's blog... oh, and mine :)

I counted 51 blogs on the RIA list, so that's some pretty good company to be keeping. I'm not sure how I got there, but hey... I'll take it, and thanks Alltop! :)

So when you see the Alltop graphic on my site, now you'll know what that's about, and when you see it on other sites as well.

And don't be a stranger... the whole concept of Alltop is to pick blogs in a certain area... let them do the aggregation (every 10 minutes) for you... and save you the time!

See you at the 'Top...
