If you’ve ever been looking for sources to do your Trend Hunting, you’ll love AllTop. Guy Kawasaki launched Alltop.com in February, and shortly after, Time.com named it one of the Top 50 sites in 2008.
Alltop now has 212 topics, but they were all bunched up on a single site. Since bunching is not really what people want, Guy Kawasaki decided a redesign was in order, and rolled out the new version today. Getting to a topic is much easier than before.
