Digital Writing Style: The Skimm

I have examined the “TheSkimm” site throughout the semester after signing up for it due to the constant emails sent after we subscribed to the site. It is a daily update on things that we can currently relate to. For example, today’s link in my email navigated me to the home screen where it gave us insight on last minute gifts. In the mist of the Holidays and Finals occurring at the same time, us as students can find it a bit difficult to tackle both. The article on last minute gifts to give us good advice on what to get for those who are awfully busy this time of year, especially for students like ourselves. They recommended gifts such as essential oils and the Fujifilm Instax Mini 9. As per the hyperlinks found within the article, it made it easy to navigate to their sites for additional information in regards to the product
I believe that the word choice would need to be simple and relatable to be effective this will cause the reader to be intrigued and will increase the chances of them clicking on the hyperlink. As far as the number of words, I think that the less the better. The exclusiveness will also draw the reader more.
