Interested in well aggregated and usable content? Something Guy alerted me too, which looks pretty interesting, is AllTop. Of course, if you’re using Netvibes you may think differently… 
_ About Alltop
We help you explore your passions by collecting stories from “all the top†sites on the web. We’ve grouped these collections—â€aggregationsâ€â€”into individual Alltop sites based on topics such as celebrity gossip, fashion, gaming, sports, politics, automobiles, and Macintosh. At each Alltop site, we display the latest five stories from thirty or more sites on a single page—we call this “single-page aggregation.â€
You can think of an Alltop site as a “dashboard†or “table of contents†for your favorite topic. To be clear, Alltop sites are starting points—they are not destinations per se. The bottom line is that we are trying to enhance your online reading by both displaying stories from the sites that you’re already visiting and unveiling stories from sites that you didn’t know existed.
I’ve always liked the idea of aggregation, and think that it’s going to become more and more important because people will want to congragte around ideas and areas of interest as the internet and traditional search becomes too wide and not specific enough… Good luck to them!

If you’ve been following this blog or Kindo recently you’ll know we launched on October 22nd 2007, which puts us at about 15 weeks live so far, which means we really are just babies…
So it’s kinda nice to start getting into the same playing field of the competition… Saul says it nicely
_ localglo.be: Kindo’s day in the sun
This has been a great few weeks for Kindo. Last week they announced seed funding from the technology founders of Skype, me and Robin at TAG and Stefan Glaenzer from Last.fm. Now this week Kindo has sneaked past Geni and Verwandt on Alexa.

This morning we all got into the office and started the day as usual. Get in around 9, get the day started with review of actions (sharpen the saw) and meetings that need to happen, then the daily SCRUM (yesterday, today), then get to it… We knew there was an important press release going out today, but we didn’t know what was going to happen or how it would be reacted to.
Then in the space of a few minutes we’re on the front page of TechCrunch UK, US and France.
We’ve followed a deliberate and intentional strategy (which is obvious by us having 14 languages) of going local fast, which is also reflected in the many blog posts from Kindo friends around the world, so I guess I’m trying to say that whilst we’re not officially an English site (English is not the language with the most users for us), it sure feels good to get that kind of brute force exposure to tech people all over the world. You just have to look at the number of RSS readers that TechCrunch US has (659K), then add UK and FR, to wonder whether our servers will melt today…
On another note, Nils has written a really good post (IMHO) about where we are now, which I’m not going to try and re-produce in tone, but I will say that I’m going to do my best to make sure that when we’re a teenager we’re going to rock
Anyways, more soon - some factoids for you that might be relevant:
- Built with Segaull php framework, flash, jQuery and MySQL
- Been live for 15 weeks
- Languages include Arabic, Chinese (simplified and traditional) and Russian
- Users in around 150 countries
