The web is a veritable treasure trove of information – there is no doubt about that. While it is a good source of information that you can use for practical purposes, the web also offers lots of things for purely entertainment purposes. One of the things that I like doing when I have some spare time is reading about odd news from all over the world. Yahoo News and other news web sites actually has a special section dedicated to this type of news.

If you are into this as well, you can check out the blog The Odd Herald, which specializes in the weirdest pieces of news you can find online. It is relatively new – it was launched only last March – but you can find a good collection of entertaining pieces.

Glamor and trash have never really gone well together, in my opinion. But then again, I have been proven wrong every now and then so perhaps this blog that I just discovered might show me something else.

This Glamorous Trash is supposed to be a blog which provides commentaries on the entertainment world and current events in general. It does seem to lean towards covering more of entertainment news as compared to other types of news that we hear about day in and day out. It should be an interesting place to find all sorts of tidbits.

Perhaps the one thing that might keep you coming back for more is the fact that the blogger does not merely report the news. Expect some sass thrown into the picture!

Everyone wants his freedom.  I think that that is one of the most basic needs of any human being although there may be varying points of view as to what freedom really is and what it constitutes.  One of our submissions is all about freedom from the point of view of a published author, William S. James.  The blog is called Freedom Blog @ FZ2878.  I went through it and found the blog posts very thought-provoking.  What makes the blog even more interesting is how the author adds his own insights to the bits and pieces of news that he features.

There are countless web sites about the news today.  We all have our favorite sources of news – both mainstream news sites and news blogs.  Here is one blog that provides a different twist – Newsjiffy.  The brainchild of Richard Brennan, an MA Journalism student at the Westminster University, this blog promises more than the run of the mill news items.  You can also read about Web 2.0 topics and you are sure to learn quite a good deal.  There is some pretty intellectual stuff as well as light, practical reading to be found in this blog.

Each person is unique and each one of us finds inspiration in different things.  Yet there are a lot of commonalities where by many people find inspiration as well.  This blog, 2inspire.us, is quite effective in bringing together pieces of news from all over the world with the overall aim of striking a sense of hope and inspiration from its readers.  From business to technology to health to justice to education – this blog seems to cover it all.  It is much like reading a news site but with a big difference – the topics are well-chosen and written to inspire and not merely to present the news.  It is a refreshing change.
