The Skimm

By Lauren 

As two best friends running a blog together, we love to support young female entrepreneurs! Today we want to introduce you to Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg, two roommates who worked together at NBC before they launched their own on-line company. Not to mention one of them is from Chicago, and one of them is from Manhattan...just like us!



Their website, theSkimm, is a daily newsletter of all the headlines written in a way that you can actually understand things like foreign policy, unemployment rate and the federal reserve! It's everything you need to know for the day delivered to your inbox by 6:00am.  



So do yourself a favor and sign up so you too can Skimm all the headlines and sound impressively informed at your next social gathering!

Way to go Carly and Danielle...girl power!

  3. I loved the idea of this but unfortunately I recently decided to unsubscribe. The newsletters were not very well written, in my opinion, and I felt the writer was trying so hard to be funny (and usually failed at these attempts) that there was a loss of information. Also, the political issues didn't seem to be written in an impartial way, The Skimm often reads like opinion.
