I have been lucky to see Guy Kawasaki give his ‘Art of the Start‘ talk live. If you have the chance to see him, don’t miss it. It’s irreverent, cuts through the corporate bull and is very, very funny. For those that don’t know Guy, he worked at apple in the early days, runs a venture capital company and has co-founded a company called ‘Alltop‘. He has over 190,000 followers on Twitter (@guykawasaki) and describes himself in his bio as ‘a firehose that answers the question: What’s interesting?’
Why a firehose? Because he pumps out all the most interesting articles that appear on Alltop in both his Twitter feed and via his Posterous blog ‘Holy Kaw‘. You’ll get everything from interesting photos, information on the web, gadgets, politics and articles he and his team think are interesting. And the tweets come thick and fast, hence the reference to being a firehose.
Alltop was inspired by PopURLs, a service that aggregates all top news feeds from interesting websites and puts the URLs on a single page. Popular URL’s. Only, Alltop has done this with hundreds of categories, including sailing and boating. It is a useful place to see the latest news from across the Internet – except that it is impossible to get your blog or news feed listed. Impossible. You can put forward a submission and – no reply. No acknowledgement. Email them. Submit again. Email again. Submit in a different category. Nothing. Not one reply. No communication whatsoever.
Allnews has been inspired by Alltop except it is dedicated to boating and sailing only. Plus it is part of Harbour Exchange where sailors have access to the Club House, Bid or Buy or the Boat Register and Sailing CV. PLUS – if you submit a blog or news feed, WE won’t ignore you. Harbour Exchange is by sailors for sailors. What makes you happy makes us happy.
