Site Review: Kant Touch This

Site Description 
Kant Touch This describes itself as a blog which aims to discuss many of the main areas in the philosophy to a level which many can understand. The site is divided into a number of different pages all with links to various forms of content. 

Content 
All of the content at Kant Touch This is of a high quality and discusses various issues the field of Philosophy. All written by the same writer the content does slightly varying across the site. The author seems to be stronger in certain fields of philosophy, such as the philosophy of mind than he is other fields of philosophy. What is very good about the site is the amount of video content the author has found. The amount of content on the site is still quite minimal with the blog having being founded relatively recently. The author however seems committed to increasing the amount of content found on the website. 

Design 
The site has a very minimal design which is perfectly functional and it is easy to navigate around in order to find all the content which you desire from a design point of view there is no real problem with the site. It's easy to read the articles and find the content you want throughout the site. There is some advertising but all of it is pretty low key and can be generally ignored. 

 Overall 
A great philosophy blog with a number of high quality articles, with more content being added all the time. Anyone with a keen passion in philosophy should take a look at the blog and see what they think about it.

Site Review: Geeksport.com

Site Description 
This relatively new site aims it self at those with an interest in technology, science, science fiction and the web in general. Thus the name Geeksport is very adpt, set out in a blog style format the site features new content written by various authors at regular intervals.  

Content 
As I said in the site description the site covers quite a wide range of subjects and is written by a number of different authors thus the post styles differ somewhat. But all of the writers write to a high standard and the content is interesting and engaging. A must read for anyone who likes the kind of topics featured on the site. Some of posts I found interesting and thought provoking while others informed of developments in technology and innovations being made that I was previously unaware of. While there is not a great deal of content on the site at the time of writting the owner looks dedicated to adding much more quality content to come, so it is certainly a site to watch out for in the future. 

Design
The site has a crisp and clean design for which it should be highly commended for. The site also very easy to navigate and find the particular piece of content that you desire. It is easy to read the articles featured on the site and the Google adsense advertising on the site doesn't get in the way of your enjoyment of the content. 

Overall 
This a site that one should pay close attention to as it appears that it may become a major force in the niche of tech, science and science fiction blogging. While the site has a limited amount of content at the moment expect much more to follow.

Site Review: Made To Trade

Site Description 
Made To Trade is a blog about financial trading for over the counter customers. It features a wide range of content mainly about CFD trading and financial spread betting. The blog is updated and features a range of content aimed at different levels of experience.  

Content 
The content is pretty good and provides some good information about financial trading. While the content does vary in quality, the blog is overall pretty good quality. The authors knowledge about certain subjects really shows through. The author seems particularly strong on the subjec of financial spread betting. I would recommend that if you have an interest in trading financial markets that you visit the said site. Theres quite a content to look through so it is quite likely you'll find something useful on the site. 


Design 
The design of the site is pretty good, but there a couple of slightly unsightly glitches which take away from the overall design. But all of the content is easy to read and the advertising doesn't detract from the website. The only gripe I would have about the site is that it can be quite hard to find the content you want, even though there is a search this blog bar.  


Overall 
This is a great site for those interested in CFD and financial spread betting. There is also seems to be a growing amount of content on the new emerging binary option marketplace. If your interested in the site you can visit the site here.
