Gauravonomics Blog Featured on the Social Media Dashboard on Guy Kawasaki’s Alltop
Welcome to Gauravonomics Blog! Subscribe to my feed in a feed reader or by e-mail and you'll never miss a single post!
Quick Summary: Gauravonomics Blog is featured on the Social Media dashboard at Guy Kawasaki’s “digital magazine rack” of the Internet Alltop.
Maverick investor Guy Kawasaki has been involved in several interesting startups of late (Truemors), but Alltop is the one I really like.
Basically, Alltop has a number of sub-sites, or dashboards, focused on a narrow vertical. Each dashboard features the headlines of five most recent stories from 30-50 top blogs and websites for that topic. When you place the cursor over a headline, it displays part of the story so that you can decide if you’d like to read it.
You can think of an Alltop site as a “dashboard,” “table of contents,” or even a “digital magazine rack” of the Internet. 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 helping you discover sites that you didn’t know existed.

My favorite Alltop dashboards are Social Media, Twitterati, Egos, Career, Small Business and Venture Capital, but there’s something for everyone looking to discover (or track) great sites on a topic.
I was surprised last week to find that Gauravonomics Blog has been included in Alltop’s Social Media dashboard along with blogs such as Shel Israel’s Global Neighborhood, Jeremiah Owyang’s Web Strategy, ReadWriteWeb, Robert Scoble’s Scobelizer, Mashable!, Bokardo, Dosh Dosh and Publishing 2.0.
The really interesting thing about the dashboard is that it includes blogs from the entire spectrum of social media related topics, including social media marketing, social media design and social application development. Most of the social media blogs I read are focused on social media marketing, so the Social Media dashboard at Alltop has also helped me discover a number of excellent blogs.
I’m almost at the bottom of the dashboard as of now, but hope to move up soon, with a little persuasion 
–
Q. How, as a site owner, do I get my site (or blog) moved up the page?
A. Send us a persuasive email. FYI, telling your readers about Alltop and blogrolling is particularly persuasive.
My only disappointment with the dashboard is that it doesn’t include any other Indian blogs. I’m sure at least a few blogs from my directory of marketing, public relations and social media blogs in India deserve to be on the dashboard, at least the ones featured on the social media dashboard at IndiBlogr, an Indian version of Alltop.
