D is for Dad is on top!

Well, dads.alltop.com that is and we’re not really on the top (kinda close to the bottom actually) but we are very happy to be included. The good stuff is usually on the bottom anyway (sugar, cocoa, gold, solids in a septic tank), unless you’re talking about cream, then it’s at the top. But I digress….

This is pretty exciting stuff really. While we imagined giving our children something to groan about in the future we never really intended for people to like us. You do like us don’t you? Forget I asked. I may not be able to handle the truth.

I’m pretty sure we made our way onto the list via recommendation and for that I thank you. Yes, you.

The Alltop site is best explained, well, by Alltop. The following is from the about page.

We help you explore your passions by collecting stories from “all the top” sites on the web. We’ve grouped these collections — ”aggregations” — into individual Alltop sites based on topics such as environment, photography, science, celebrity gossip, fashion, gaming, sports, politics, automobiles, and Macintosh. At each Alltop site, we display the latest five stories from thirty or more sites on a single page — we call this “single-page aggregation.”

The result of this aggregation becomes a great starting point for each of the categories listed among the collections. This could also be a fantastic networking tool. I’ve already discovered many Dad and Mom blogs that I wasn’t aware of or, dare I say, forgotten about.

Thanks to Guy Kawasaki and the rest of Nononina for creating a pretty sweet resource, and for including lil ol’ us.

Yeah, congrats! (Hands in pockets, twisting side to side, looking down and kicking the dirt.)

I didn’t make the cut. But I’m not bitter.

Thanks Ed.

I read your post and didn’t comment cause I felt pretty bad. Yours is one of the first Dad blogs I discovered (long before D is for Dad was started). I definitely think there was an oversight someplace. Please let us know if that note you sent doesn’t get you added. I’d be happy to chime in on your behalf!
