I also thought the bar as a hindrance initially, but as a marketing student u also must understand that its part of their brand building. U need to do some thing unusual to get noticed, right! Searching for the category under which something very specific like apple falls is a little difficult with all top ( i realized it when they actually removed the apple category completely ) but it still useful if Ur looking for some of the top blogs in broad category like HR, IT, family,books etc.. by the way did u try Reviewgist Well its all about user experience, Muthu.

The site was not easy to use for me. Say, I want to know about the latest news about apple, how do i do that. Alltop is more like yahoo or google directories. I hate using such kind of sites because, I have to make a decision on what classification what i want falls. Say, "apple" what classification does it fall. Is it electronics or is there a special section for apple in the root. Alltop is not my cup of tea and the red bar is really annoying. I came across alltop sometime back.
