How to Get Started With MyAlltop: http://adjix.com/p3j7

First, here’s an introduction to Alltop, so you can understand what we’re trying to do.

Are you sold? Then let’s get started!

Step 1: Go to MyAlltop and click on “create an account.”

Step 2: Fill in the account information and click on “SIGN UP.”

This is what you’ll see next.

Step 3: Look in your inbox for a confirmation email. If you don’t see it, check your spam folder. Click on the URL in the email to confirm. If you never receive it, it may mean that you entered your email address wrong. Contact us if this happens.

This is what you’ll see next.

Step 4: Click on the Alltop logo to go to the Alltop home page.

Step 5: Use the home page to find topics that you’re interested in. You can Search for them, click on categories (“Work,” “Health,” etc.), or look alphabetically (“N” for New York Times).

If you’re looking for suggestions, here is our starterkit.

Step 6: Click on the + to the right of the source’s name that you want to add to your MyAlltop page. Click on Manage to change the order of the feeds.

Step 7: Reorder feeds by dragging and dropping. Delete feeds by clicking on the x near their name.

Anytime you want to add feeds or change your MyAlltop page, click on the Log In button and then Manage.

Guy, I saw the phrase

"Build your own topic" on the sign up box.

But after the tutorial and comments here I can see that I cannot actually submit a topic like http://www.ifnaturallearning.com/blog/

As far as I can tell nature connection is not included. hmmm. Dare you to add mine.

http://AntiBadGuy.com is what I want to add, can't figure out how to do it.. help?

[Jay Yanuaria]

I cannot add my own lists.. Am I missing something?

[Eric]

Suggestion-

Let users with a MyAlltop page add feeds to their page. I have a bunch of bookmarked collections I would add/maintain on Alltop. But if I can't add them, I see no value to having a page.

cheers

[brettbum]

I can't seem to find where I can add blogs that aren't on the home page?

In general, this is just like that great new technology (from 2001) called my.yahoo.com ;)

Just has twitter and digg in the mix too as far as I can tell. If I'm missing what makes this special then maybe the tutorial needs a change in focus. (btw the quality of the tutorial is what convinced me to sign up, great little video, but now that I'm here, I realize that my expectations don't match up to what is actually here)

How can I add my own feeds or website?

[Chester]

How can I add my own feeds or website?

[cybele]

So, no one monitors the comments here... or answers messages via email ... or on Twitter. Is this a real service? Now my question is how do I delete my account?

[cybele]

Why can't I add my own blog to my own Alltop page? I'm not in the system already. There are lots I'd like to add, but it appears that I can't just plug in a feed and have it show up. Basically I want to replicate my blogroll as an Alltop page.

This seams to be a very interesting feature; both to collect good stuff for my own interest, but also to share it with the rest of the world.

I am a newbie, but call myself a network evangelist and learn step by step as I listen, try and share with the rest of the world.

It goes with my saying on my blog about Norway too (http://www.terella.no): 'Social Media connecting People'.

[Meglyn]

Love it! One stop shopping for all my eclectic mix of interests! Thanks for the added feature.
BTW - you have Infinite Possiblities listed twice in New Age Category.
Also - do you have, and perhaps I just missed it - anything from NPR or Science Friday?

Thanks again - great application.

I didn't see a parenting category on your "Start Up Kit" if you are looking for a volunteer, I'm raising my hand! :)

[Mia DeBolt]

Thank you for your service. I look forward to optimizing it and organizing the information through this awesome tool!

[Jan Friman]

I know Alltop is all about simplicity. That's great! But if you (GK) want Alltop to become really useful and hopefully take off big time then you need to add (highly) customized feeds!
My Tip: The smartest option would be to go down the semantic road. Team up with Twine, collaborate and integrate your services. Both of you would be winners. That's a no brainer.
Love your efforts!

[gnomic]

OK, but how do I add my own selection of RSS feeds?

[Robert Vinet]

This is a wonderful service. Thanks for the tutorial. Very easy to do. I´m still working on my http://my.alltop.com/living20/ page (I have way too many web sites) and will get it all worked out over the next day .. but right now I need to go out and enjoy a little sunshine.

[Todd Lohenry]

Didn't you say in your initial email about myalltop that you'd be able to create custom feeds? Where is that feature?

[mtlucas]

Is it possible to add a personal photo to one's Alltop page, like the sample ones on the signup page?

[John Bergquist]

Guy, I added four accounts already. The only frustration I have had is that not all of my favorite blogs are on alltop. This is such a great one stop shop. It has totally replaced my paper reading in the morning. Now I just need to send @neenz all my favorite feeds. Keep up the great work
