About ALOT

ALOT is a software company dedicated to making the Internet easy. We do this through a range of downloadable and web-based applications:

We’re a small group, less than fifty, that’s part of a larger family. We’re owned by a NASDAQ-listed company called Vertro, Inc.

In 2007, one of the ALOT programmers received a frustrated email from his mother. She had been looking on a popular web search engine for "recipes" and confusingly found 187 million links. "Why can't this just be easy?!" she wrote. The programmer made a prototype of our current ALOT Toolbar for Recipes and a new product, division, and mission were born. Mom reports back that she loves the toolbar, but wants a knitting button next. We are working on that, too.

Our design philosophy is to give the user exactly what they want and hopefully nothing that they don't. We do this by creating preconfigured categories for our products with just the "hits". All of our links and buttons are editorially chosen for safety and quality of content.

Once you have the product right for you, we believe configuration should be a simple and easy process. Both the ALOT Toolbar and Home products currently have simple customization features being tested now. You will be able to easily drag-n-drop to add and remove ALOT Buttons and soon, even able to drag Buttons from your Toolbar to your Home Page and vice-versa!

Our site and product designs are intentionally simple with large fonts. Novices and power users both report that it's just a nicer way to browse the web. Our goal is to create value for you!
