I do think that it holds promise. It could be useful for many people who are unable or unwilling to create their own feed aggregators. I actually do something like Alltop already for many of my friends' personal blogs, and it's very handy. I can see the use. As for seminars -- I think Aleks is probably right. It seems to me that most of them are a scam or something close to it. However, since I haven't done any research into them, and have never actually been to one myself, I'm unwilling to point fingers just yet. Still, the reports I've read from people who have attended these things aren't good... Harrington, I’m not sure whether Alltop will take off, either. I do think that it holds promise.

Especially the ones were the speaker also has late night infomercials on TV. ;) Just be sure to do lots of research on the speaker before you attend the meeting and talk to others who have attended if possible. Chances are good that the speaker already has a book out that covers the exact same thing that will be covered in the seminar. This has been my experience anyway!

You just have to ask yourself how they make their money. People who know how to make a lot of money trading stocks, flipping houses or trading foreign currency are doing those things; they're not giving seminars.
