Alumbo categorizes information, products and services into dozens of individual "community channels", each one focused on a unique aspect of your life for you to explore, improve and grow. These channels are organized into a community hierarchy of progressively more detailed interest areas.

Every item on the site, whether it is a feature article, a book review, a description of a website, etc., is assigned to one or more communities, depending on its relevance. Thus, you may see the same item in several places on the site. Also, our content is organized according to item type under these main categories that correspond to the tabs near the top of the page:

• Magazine (feature articles, regular columns, events, news items, and other editorial material)
• Shopping (books, audiotapes, videos, music, and other merchandise)
• Resources (websites, email newsletters, associations, seminars, other services)
• Discussion (our internal discussion forum as well as external newsgroups, live chatrooms, etc.)
