After a quick perusal, I still think I prefer MacSurfer. Granted, it's lone, long page, but I like how it categorizes the news stories, is _very_ comprehensive, and then, below, lists articles by site. Maybe AllTop will be good for a quick perusal of Mac web sites, but MacSurfer definately takes the award for completeness of coverage. -Jon[/quote] One of the great things about the Web is that there are so many options out there, which makes it easier to find sites that fit your style. Of course, the downside is that there are so many options. The comprehensive coverage MacSurfer offers is great, but for me the slimmed down look AllTop offers fits my OmniWeb + NetNewsWire workflow better. My intense Web research happens in NetNewsWire, and I can get quick overviews from AllTop. Jeff
