Futile Updates

Gimme some Skimm

8/26/2015

 
THING TO KNOW
JSYK: Stands for ‘just so you know.’ Because FYI is getting boring. (source)
I've been tinkering around a bit with the website--theme changes, new icons for the main pages, page header for the blog pages, etc.-- and I even added a new section, "Quote of the Day".
Picture
However, I can't take credit for this section because I'm taking it from a website I started reading awhile back, called theSkimm.

theSkimm is basically a daily digest of news, but it's so much better. I've been posting "10 Things You Need To Know Today" from The Week magazine for awhile now, but theSkimm goes a step further making the daily news a narrative.

In their own words:

News is not only our career, it's our passion. Because of this, we have always been the go-to source for friends seeking the scoop on current events or breaking news. We soon realized three things: Reading the news is time consuming; Wanting to read the news is a hobby; lastly, not everyone has the time or interest.


theSkimm makes it easier to be smarter. We're the daily e-mail newsletter that gives you everything you need to start your day. We do the reading for you - across subject lines and party lines - and break it down with fresh editorial content.
Taking the news of the day, they explain it in a fun and entertaining way that's quick and easy to read. I highly encourage you to sign up for their daily newsletter. I'm pretty sure you'll be glad you did.
