Last night we launched a topic-based feed aggregator with Guy Kawasaki. The technology making Alltop go won’t draw much attention from friends in the industry — we all but ignore personal relevancy at this point. But then there’s the Egos thing.
One of the topics aggregates posts from a mix of prolific bloggers and well-known personalities. The Egos title is intentionally baiting - Guy’s expecting a pretty specific reaction. “You’re pissed off if you’re on the list. You’re pissed off if you’re not.”
Off the record, I wouldn’t be too pissed to be on it. Some of the authors came out of my own reading list, and they weren’t included for their arrogance.
We also skipped over a lot of web types to keep the list from leaning too far towards web and overlapping what Thomas Marban is doing at popurls. So, I wouldn’t be too pissed if I’m not either.
Greg Storey isn’t in there yet, so there has to be at least a bit of human error.









Me, an Ego? I’m just a delicate flower.
What about Om Malik and Richard MacManus and Jeff Jarvis and… you know… the other a-listers?
@Erick - the list is looking more for personal thoughts than reviews. Crunchnotes vs techcrunch. Those examples fit the personality, but miss the format.
@Greg - you said “flower.”
From all news aggregators i prefer http://needfornews.com
they give tag cloud, so you dont need to read all titles to understand wtf s going today
