5 Tools To Help You Find Hot Topics Fast
Looking for the hot topics, most relevant and up to date information, and you don’t want to open 10 tabs on your web browser to do it? Well let’s point you in a couple of directions to help you out. In a previous post we discussed using Google tools as a source for relevant content in this post we are going to look at 5 aggregator sites that can be used individually or together to get you in the know!
Delicious
As many of you may know, this is a social book marking site that is driven by users bookmarking interesting websites, articles, and posting throughout the web. There are many ways to find the hot topics on Delicious but two of our favorites are the Delicious Hot List and by topic or keyword, this is known as the Delicious Tag.
Netvibes
Netvibes is a personalized homepage, news and multiprotocol aggregator, and social network in one. Netvibes lets individuals assemble their favorite widgets, websites, blogs, email accounts, social networks, search engines, instant messengers, photos, videos, podcasts, and everything else they enjoy on the web – all in one place.This is a great place to assemble the blogs and websites you consistently go to for news and information.
Alltop
You can think of Alltop as the “online magazine rack” of the web. We’ve subscribed to thousands of sources to provide “aggregation without aggravation.” To be clear, Alltop pages are starting points—they are not destinations per se. Ultimately, our goal is to enhance your online reading by displaying stories from sources that you’re already visiting plus helping you discover sources that you didn’t know existed.
On Alltop you can search by category, topic, or keyword and you can create your own feed page.
OneRiot
OneRiot, a realtime search engine, helps users find the news, blogs and videos that people are buzzing about. OneRiot ranks its search results using PulseRank, a realtime ranking algorithm that sorts web content according to its current social significance. By indexing pages shared by millions of Digg, Twitter, and wider social web users – including the contributions of OneRiot’s own three million-strong panel – OneRiot delivers fresh, hyper-relevant search results that answer the question: what is happening right now?
RiotFeeds
As reported by TechCrunch OneRiot rolled out RiotFeeds today, a Twitter tool “which basically hand curates tweets from the top sites in various categories on the web. The end result are feeds that just contain tweets with links from sites of the same ilk.”
