1. Most Useful Internet Tool

Unsubscribr - If you’re like us and enthusiastically sign up for new, interesting sounding services… only to then realize that you’ve inadvertently filled your email inbox with a ridiculous amount of junk / bulk mail, Unsubscribr is a tool you really need to try. It’s the simplest way we’ve found to unsubscribe from all those mailing lists that seemed like a good idea at the time but soon stalked your inbox, distracting you from what you really need to read! As long as you use Gmail, AOL or Yahoo Mail (it doesn’t yet support Hotmail, although we’re assured they’re working on it!) you can get rid of all the junk you need to within 5 minutes and a few clicks. Simple, useful, exactly what we like to discover on the web. Click here to try out Unsubscribr.

2. Best New Video Site on the Web

Switchcam - Switchcam is the website for every music fan who missed that amazing concert their favorite act did at Hollywood Bowl (eg. me + John Mayer in 2010), and wades through Youtube for hours, looking for the best live clips of the show: Switchcam relies on passionate human curators to crowdsource the best versions of fans’ videos taken at live concerts and DJ sets, and sort them into magic song-by-song video playlists of any particular gig. And the best part is that the video (and sound if you choose) switches between cameras during the songs, to give you multiple perspectives of the same concert… kinda gives you a better view of the concert than if you were actually there! Click here to see if your favorite artist has a curated concert playlist on Switchcam. If they don’t, you could always make one yourself there too

3. Best New Music Website

Loudlee – Another beautifully curated website that should reduce your chronic dependence on Youtube (while still using its videos and music) is Loudlee. It’s a completely FREE, online, personalized music library and player that curates Youtube’s vast database of videos and songs into equally vast, searchable collections of artists. You simply search for who you want to listen to and then add that artist and their discography to your burgeoning library. You can then share your library, likes and listens with your friends via Facebook.

In our opinion, the best thing about Loudlee is that you can listen to The Beatles’ best albums on it, for free and incredibly easily – which you can’t do on Spotify and have to pay for on iTunes. Although that’s just our personal choice Click here to start making your online music library on Loudlee.

4. Website Most Likely To Inspire You

Makers – If you’ve been lacking any inspiration recently, here’s a nice little library of exclusive, revealing video interviews with some of America’s most powerful, famous and trailblazing women in their fields. Makers is produced by Emmy Award-winning and Oscar nominated filmmakers Dyllan McGee, Betsy West, and Peter Kunhardt, and developed by PBS & AOL, so it was hardly surprising that the digital platform they created would have the emotional chuzpa to go with the intuitive web user experience needed to get Makers off the ground and into this list. Click here to take your pick of insights from some truly inspirational ladies (or get a preview with this gem from Ellen Degeneres below!).

5. Best Education Site for Kids

Wondermind - If you have kids, and naturally they’re better at using the internet than you are, make sure you direct them to this absolute gem of a website. Wondermind is a beautifully crafted, interactive site that teaches kids (and grown ups too) about how the brain works. It slickly combines the science behind the brain with a little Alice in Wonderland themed world of minigames, quizzes and videos. That it works so well is hardly surprising, given that a joint project by the Tate (Britain’s premier modern art gallery), Bafta award winning games studio Preloaded, interactive video director Martin Percy and a London University professor. Click here to have a go on Wondermind. And don’t hog it, your kids will want a go too

6. Best Site to Visit When You’re Bored

I Waste So Much Time - If you already think you waste too much time looking at funny stuff on the internet… probably best to look away now! From the makers of one of our fave coffee break sites of 2011, Attack of the Cute, comes I Waste So Much Time, which aims to show you funny pictures + videos, and let you rate them. And that’s it. Couldn’t be simpler – just go on I Waste So Much Time, look at funny pictures or videos and interact with them, clicking on one of three buttons underneath (“Awesome”, “What the What!?”, or “Boring”). Try it: It’s free; no annoying facebook sign-ups to get through; and it’s fun clicking on the buttons. I have no more to say on the matter, you know what you have to do!

7. Easiest Way to ‘Read It Later’

Pocket – While All My Faves is (in our humblest of opinions ) the easiest way to save your bookmarks across all your devices, Pocket is a great companion tool to save any articles, videos or images you like the look of, but don’t have the time to read right now, whatever device you’re using. Within the click of a button (either the Pocket browser addon or a ‘read it later’ button on 300+ apps including Flipboard), you save whatever you want to view again later (this article included?) onto your own personal Pocket dashboard. Very useful indeed if you ask us! Click here to check out Pocket.

8. Best Website For Organized Living

Buttoned Up – We’ve added Buttoned Up into our list due to popular demand from users who’ve been so pleased with the barrage of handy hints and tips for organized living this website has provided, since our original Weekly Faves feature. It’s a super site built by four mommies who seriously know how to organize, for other mommies and daddies who, well, don’t. Or not as much as these guys anyway! The ‘Tools & Giveaways’ section is a particularly useful part of the site, filled with downloadable lists designed for organized living like a ‘Back-to-School Checklist’ and a holiday gift budget form. Buttoned Up might just change your life – it’s that useful! 

9. Most Interesting New Social Network

Cowbird – Sometimes 140 characters just isn’t enough. It’s arguable that Twitter sums up our modern fast moving world, where we are satisfied by an endless rush of throwaway one-liners. The creators and curators of short story community Cowbird would heartily disagree – having created a never ending web of online short story tellers, linked almost magically by the subjects of their stories: the people, places and themes they evoke. A sort of modern day diary for the online generation, you can write or record a visual, picture, video or sound-based online diary or story, and share it with the world. Cowbird then is a different type of social network. One where every story you tell is placed in your virtual library, where it can take pride of place forever. Sound intriguing? That’s because it is! Click here to get story telling, or check out the growing library of short stories already created.

10. Best New Photo Editing Tool on the Web

PicMonkey - Last but certainly not least, if you’re a wannabe professional, amateur photographer like me and the rest of the All My Faves team, you may have heard of PicNik, the online ‘Photoshop for Dummies’. You may also have heard that they’re closing themselves down. And you probably won’t have yet heard that PicMonkey has popped up ready to take its crown as the easiest, cheapest way to make your photos look awesome, using the Internet. It’s more comprehensive and less one-dimensional than Instagram, and it’s so much easier to use than Photoshop: you simply drag any photo from your computer onto the designated box on the website, and then select from a huge range of photo editing tools that will make your photo look way better than it did originally, without much effort. It’s free (for now), easy and fun, so click here to try out PicMonkey.

If you like these sites, you can easily add them to your own customized Faves Page with All My Faves – and get new, cool websites every week, direct to your homepage. Click here to join for free and try us out.

Free Cabin Porn: “The Inspiration for your Quiet Place, somewhere”

Free Cabin Porn – Did I say pleasure? I think I should have said leisure. Or even better, “the pleasure of leisure”. Free Cabin Porn is a tumblr blog that offers you an amazing selection of the best pictures of log cabins all around the worlds, from the area of Winthrop in Washington to an emergency cabin in the Melrakkasletta Region, Iceland. 39 pages of amazingly taken pictures turn this website into a, erm well… a fetish for anyone who loves vacations in the mountain or forest.

6. Best for the Deal Seeking Mom

DEAL SEEKING MOM – The frugal idea behind this website belongs to Tara Kuczykowski, a married mom of three boys and two girls, ages 4 to 10 years, living in Columbus, OH. As a stay-at-home mom, she challenged herself to cut costs on her family’s basic needs, to have more disposable income for the things in life that make it worth living. That’s why her blog is all about introducing other moms to the basics of coupon’ing in order to tighten those budgets and make room for an occasional splurge.

Ditto

You’ll need to see Ditto to believe it

Both Roy (our founder and glasses sporting, weekly faves finding guru) and myself (equally glasses sporting, slightly less guru-like) tried out Ditto extensively this week, and both came to the same conclusion: There literally isn’t another way either of us would buy new glasses or sunglasses online than through a website like Ditto’s: it’s a cool (albeit novelty) 3D virtual fitting room for its online glasses store, where you can actually try on any of the glasses and sunglasses on sale, simply by using your webcam!

Whether you trust it or not – and whether you actually need new glasses or not, Ditto’s glasses shop is definitely worth trying, if for nothing more than a bit of fun to see what glasses would or wouldn’t suit you!

Make a wish upon a… Polaroid!

Before I Die I Want To – It’s usually said that wishes are not supposed to be shared. If you wish for something when you blow out the birthday candles or see a shooting star – and tell anyone what you asked for – it won’t come true. But what about goals, challenges? They are a wish for an accomplishment… and there’s no better way to take responsibility for them than sharing. Based on the idea that “the human connection of making a promise to someone and understanding that someone cares, notices, and expects something is motivational”, this website comes up with an artistic way to achieve a lifetime goal: What do you want do before you die?

Before I Die I Want To: A poignant, artistic project by Nicole Kenney

Several factors inspired this project brought to the web by the Brooklyn-based artist Nicole Kenney, who with ‘Before I Die I Want To’  intends to explore both universal and intimate, personal themes. On the one hand, ‘Before I Die I Want To’ is particularly poignant given the recent announcement by Polaroid that they are to discontinue their products as a result of the prevalence of digital photography. On the other, Kenney expects that by asking people, “what do you want to do before you die?”, and asking them to publicly publish their wishes online, will motivate them to actually achieve their stated life goals, by making a promise to themselves and the photographer.

What’s in it for you, reader?

You can’t actually contribute to the project – it doesn’t appear to be a social wall that people can add to. But as a library of human experiences and wishes, it’s incredibly interesting to explore as a reader. Nicole asked the ‘Before I Die I Want To’ question to people from the United States, India and a hospice, so there’s a real interest in comparing the life goals and wishes of people from extremely different perspectives. From “Driving a car across the country” to “being 20 years old again”, every desire is as unique as the person who stated it. Don’t miss this chance to feel inspired by other people wishes… you’ll probably find yourself thinking about your own.

Top gadgets from all over the web, gathered in one place

As top gadget lovers ourselves, we know gadget lovers usually browse at least weekly through their favorite gadget sites. And we also know that usually you just find the same things but in different versions. By offering the first truly social gadgets site, Curisma helps you discover tons of top gadgets you didn’t even think you might be interested in. The ‘add to Curisma‘ bookmarklet button they provide you with is supposed to make collecting new, top gadgets to your portfolio easier but when I experimented with it, it didn’t quite work…

It’s top gadgets, it’s social, it’s curation. It’s clearly cool!

All in all, Curisma is worth a look. It’s great if you love useless gadgets that you see and immediately think you need (and make you wish you were rich enough to purchase…). It also introduces you to like minded gadget geeks people who share your taste in this wonderfully pointless hobby of ours. One warning though, once you enter Curisma, there’s probably no way back!

Why Tweeting through a rainbow on Twimbo will get you hooked:

Twimbo – Like it or not, Twitter has become an essential part of our online being, a finger print of our existence on the web that each day becomes harder to avoid. I know it sounds scary but don’t panic, whether you’re an experienced Twitterati, amateur Twitter ‘lurker’ (a reader, not a tweeter), or just completely out of the Twitterverse: Twimbow is here to get anyone hooked on tweeting, with an extravagant flash of rainbow color!

For a social network of millions of 140 character status updates, Twitter isn’t a simple beast to understand.You have the 140 character tweets themselves, the @ ‘mentions’ to make and reply to, the direct messages to send and read through, the ‘retweets’ to post… and as if all of this was not enough, your feed is full of tweets from friends, family, coworkers, acquaintances and – of course – “the unknowns”, and the #’trends’ are constantly changing too. So in other words, Twitter is overcrowded and overcomplicated for the average user. And that’s why you need to start using Twimbow…

How to make Twimbow the solution to your overcrowded Twitter:

The simple answer to that is, well, yes! Once you invest a bit of time learning to configure your account, you’ll realize that colors are a brilliant way to sort Twitter’s information overload into bites of the things that really interest you. (Click on the “read and share news” icon to learn all the secrets of the site). If you find a tweet that don’t want to forget about, just save it in the Monitor. Watch the worldwide trending topics combined with graphics to understand which one is the most important. And my favorite feature: use the excellent search engine to find and share songs and lyrics with all your contacts.

Click here to try the Twimbow rainbow Twitter client and galvanize your Twitter.
