Keep your finger on the pulse of the Web with Popurls
Popurls is a single page that gives you a view of the most popular sites on the Internet right now. It collects RSS streams from some of the most popular sources of all kinds of news online.
Popurls is a great tool for news junkies, search engine marketing professionals and anyone who needs to be in touch with the “hive mind” of web searchers everywhere. It presents a selection of the most popular links from the most popular folksonomy sites, news search engines and blogs.
What makes Popurls really useful is that the selection is narrow enough to make the page quite easily browsable. At the same time it is wide enough to give you a generous amount of headlines, links, pictures and videos.
At the moment the selection includes:
- Digg
- del.icio.us
- Newsvine
- Metafilter
- Tailrank
- Google News
- Yahoo News
- Netscape
- Wired
- Slashdot
- Boingboing
- Fark
- Nowpublic
- Shoutwire
- Furl
- Clipmarks
- Dzone
You also get to see the most popular pictures or videos from Flickr, Youtube, Ifilm, Odeo, Heavy, Videoshift, and VideoAOL .
There is a search box which lets you search the Snap search engine and shortcuts to search del.icio.us, Technorati, IceRocket, Flickr, MySpace and Wikipedia.
You can customize Popurls. In the top right hand corner are some enigmatic icons. These will let you change from black background to white, use a larger font size, display three times the amount of items, customize the feed arrangement, and more.
