Moviegram – Before I go out to the cinema (or stay in, DVD collection at the ready), I’m quite meticulous about only seeing films I know have overall good scores on my various reviews sites (Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDB). All these sites combine ratings by industry critics and regular joes to give an overall picture of how good a movie is. And Moviegram combines them all. So if you’re a review follower like me… you’ve just found a new fave, my friend!

Play Gravity Duck 2 free – Retro is fun . And so are gravity defying ducks. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Well have a go on Gravity Duck 2 for free and you soon will. It’s a retro platformer where you use your keyboard arrows to move a little yellow duck around, on a quest to find a series of golden eggs. Sometimes the only way to get to the egg is by defying gravity, and so you use the ‘x’ button to do just that, and let your little duck loose!

DecaPost – American news coverage is notoriously divisive. We all know it. You either love Fox News and hate MSNBC or visa versa. And you probably just read the news online via the one source you like too. This may work fine for some, but there’s a growing number of online news consumers who aren’t particularly activist one way or another, and they just want to follow the top, trending news stories in a balanced way.

Chill.com – Facebook may be the master when it comes to sharing photos with your friends; but when it comes to video there’s still something missing: the ability to create a nice big collection of all your videos, and also collections of cool videos you’ve found on any particular subject across the internet, and show them off in one place. And luckily enough for us avid consumers of online video, Chill’s creators have addressed this gap.
You sign up with your Facebook account, follow a few suggested users based on your interests, plus any of your Facebook friends already ‘chilling’. And then you can view cool videos either from a stream of all these users put together, or by clicking on any user’s individual feed. The feeds are great looking, and really do come out like a lovingly created scrapbook of shareable videos. This idea really works best when it comes to creating a ‘collection’ of videos on any particular subject, like this (albeit slightly Apple-geeky) collection of Steve Jobs videos I decided to follow and share for example. And there’s also a bookmarklet that allows you to post videos you find around the net that you like onto your Chill board (and Facebook and/or Twitter if you want!) for you and your friends to view and share on.
A great concept that’s developing a growing following, click here to watch some cool videos on Chill.
