Smile News 

Services

Smile News is a new concept in news, both a philosophy and a powerful tool. Here's a little tour of how it works:
  • Main page

    Start with the main news page, with all your sources organized and customized by category, including the Smile News Mix category. The Smile News Mix is a special category that focuses uniquely on positive stories drawn from carefully selected positive sources all over the web. For now, for our overall sources we'll pick FOX and MSNBC:

  • A Less Negative Take

    You decide to put the filter all the way up by tapping it a few times (and your setting is saved), and you get something a little different from your sources; a lot of the most depressing content is filtered out and the more positive content is prioritized up top along with an article from the Smile News Mix (in this case, a link from Ode magazine), but we can scroll down and get more typical news nonetheless:

  • Smile News Mix category

    Finally, look at The Smile News Mix, a special category that focuses uniquely on positive stories drawn from carefully selected positive sources all over the web. In this category you will find only uplifting stories, some relating to positive current events, and others to trends, personal stories, and a host of other timely content:

     




     

  • Finally

    We sit back and relax a moment, realizing that our state of mind is often dictated by what we choose to focus on in life.
