What did you talk about on your last date? What about over coffee with your co-workers? Work? Kids? The weather? There’s only one way to avoid awkward and/or boring conversation, and it’s called information. A man (or woman) with information and interesting news at their fingertips is a man (or woman) with power: And Wavii aims to give you that power… to turn your small talk upside down!

Hubii – When searching the internet for news, people usually visit their regular news websites, which means they will always get the same point of view for any current event. Hubii tries to change that by letting you browse through a google-style map, and then click on the local news sites that are more relevant to the issue you’re interested in. It allows you to get the whole picture, and don’t worry, its in your own language.

Puts the coverage of top news stories from all the major news sources in one place

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.

Find video that interests you, and you alone!

Frequency – There’s just so much interesting video content floating around the internet on any given moment, on any given day. And that means it’s really easy to miss a heck of a lot of good stuff! Stuff that gets posted on Facebook or Twitter by your friends or people you follow; stuff that gets posted on news websites (of which there are far too many to browse through in one go…); or just random, funny videos that get posted by random, funny people on Youtube.

And that’s where Frequency comes to the rescue.

For my fellow gadget geeks out there, The Verge is a great online publication to get all your tech news and reviews. It’s still new, founded in early 2011, but its star is certainly rising fast, due to its breaking news coverage and in-depth reporting, product information, and community content via a unified, modern platform. Click the pic to have a look around!

We're really digging The Verge's in-depth reviews and news at All My Faves!

Uproxx – Your first visit to Uproxx might be confusing. It took me a while to get the gist of this entertainment site. Essentially, Uproxx is the venue of cultural and entertainment news, or, as the site explains, “from exclusive entertainment news to original sports satire, UPROXX covers the biggest names and events in pop culture with humor and insight.”

Uproxx works in collaboration with other media venues such as Gamesqaud to cover news on gaming and technology, and Filmdrunk, to cover film news, among others. This website might come across as too fresh to some, but entertainment -real entertainment- has to get down and dirty sometimes, right? Here’s an interesting news update I found on Uproxx, A-List Time Travel: Celebrities Re-Imagines in Different Eras.
