Recently my sister's fellow graduate from UPenn approached me for some help spreading the word on her website
http://www.theskimm.com. As an avid reader of the Daily Skimm's posts I immediately took on the challenge inviting my sorority and sending out a mass amount of Facebook invitations. I thought this website was pertinent to the issues brought up in our class not only because it is helpful, innovative, insightful, and youthful but because it encourages entrepreneurship, the use of social media, and allows us to understand how information is spread. The Skimm feeds me my news in an easy-to-read and efficient fashion. It brings up the significant issues in our society covering a wide spectrum of newsworthy topics from politics to popular culture. Furthermore, theSkimm and its emails are perfect for my fast-paced lifestyle. I get my news on the go and it is already sorted through for me!
The Skimm's mission statement says:
"theSkimm is the daily newsletter that simplifies the headlines for the educated professional who knows enough to know she needs more. We do the reading for you and explain it with fresh editorial content, breaking down what you need to know to start the conversation." These girls are a well-oiled machine and clearly a team to watch. The dynamic duo have a successful blog:
http://theskimm.tumblr.com and I encourage you all to check out their Facebook
page! If you like what you see -and I know that you will- then please sign up immediately and support theSkimm...after all they are fellow budding entrepreneurs!
I NEED this. Genius!
