GoodNewsIndia.com

Now, there is never any shortage of bad news on the web, but here is a site I found that moves the notion of news in a whole new direction and it is a direction I rather like.

GoodNewsIndia.com is exactly that - a collection of news stories and articles with a positive overtone. The layout here is functional yet uninspired - which seems a shame given the inspirational content - with the most recent articles and supplements listed on the opening page.

To read a story just click the appropriate link. They are all text heavy, I am afraid, with just a spattering of pictures to illustrate them but the pages load super-fast and I am sure our narrowband surfers will find this a refreshing change.

When you are reading a story, a funny little menu appears in the top right-hand corner of your screen. Here you can opt for a printable version, with or without pictures, or use the links to navigate your way back to other sections of the site. Thanks Brijraj!
