It’s great for editing photos without forking out but, thankfully, quality isn’t sacrificed for price — it works really really well! This Is My Jam Want to find out what all your friends are listening to? Then this site is perfect for you. The site allows you to connect via Facebook and Twitter and see what tracks your friends are most keen on! Even if you can’t find your friends on it, you can still see what’s trending! Upworthy.com RATING: WHAT IS IT? Upworthy.com is essentially a news site, with a variety of interesting articles. The general theme of the articles is that they are matters of importance and great interest. THE GOOD: The design of the site is very appealing, with the most important/popular articles clearly displayed on the front page and boxed together nicely. The site allows you to immediately share articles that peak your interest to your Facebook or Twitter, and there’s even an option to subscribe to the site’s email list so you can really stay up to date! The site also allows you to search more specifically should you wish to do so; there are various categories to choose from, allowing you to find exactly what you’re looking for. THE BAD: There’s a slight feeling of pretentiousness about the site; while there are a myriad of interesting and enlightening articles, the overall tone could be presented in a more user-friendly format. But, of course, it’s hard to really come across in a sincere manner on the Internet, especially when the site specialises in ‘important articles’! WEBSITE OF THE MONTH VERDICT: A cool little site that really is full of interesting and insightful articles — it’s sure to keep you busy!
