Guy Kawasaki's Alltop- aggregating so you don't have to

While there is no shortage of web sites that pull all the information they think you need into one place to make your life easier there is one that I have been using a lot.  Alltop is the brainchild of Guy Kawasaki and it takes a unique approach to pulling all the news you want by making each topic its own web page.  The two pages I follow regularly:

mobile.alltop.com
gadgets.alltop.com

I don't only follow them because jkOnTheRun is listed on both of them, no if you look at the sites that are aggregated on each it's quick to see that Alltop pulls very good information into one single page.  Take a look at it and see what I mean.  I find the crisp, clean, simple page design to be very nice:

Mobilealltop

I should have pointed out that each page at Alltop has a very simple mobile-friendly version.  Just add a /m to the URL and you'll have it like this:

gadgets.alltop.com/m

At a very quick glance, it behaves a lot like PopURLs. Hmmm.. I have a lot of trouble finding anything better than Google Reader for my aggregation needs. I know that having everything on page is supposed to be better, but I like GR's linearity. Maybe I'm the one who's to blame here... :-)
