theSkimmÂ 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.

liking The Skimm... it's a little bit political, a little bit current affairs, some international, a little bit sports - which I really need since sports are never on my radar. Other things depending on the day.

And easy way to have some water cooler topics. Of course I don't have a water cooler.

I like this the same way I like Bloglovin'. Someone else collects content and delivers it to my in box first thing in the morning. I read it sometime during the day when I need a break.

Believe it or not in this age of constant information I find it hard to be informed. I need something besides Facebook and the Daily Show. And I don't always catch the news. I've been reading this for about a week and so far so good.
