What is In:site?
In:Site is a application on Facebook dedicated to bringing 16-25-year-olds, a sorely lacking news audience, news on arts in culture around the Seattle area, a subject chosen for its popularity among the app's target audience.
The app was made by a group of 20 students at the University of Washington and is the focus of a 10-week entrepreneurial journalism class, which helps students get hands-on experience.
The students plan on using popular social sites like twitter to gain exposure for the nascent project.
The site is a collaboration with Seattle-based news aggregator (a news site that gathers and displays news from other sources) NewsCloud, who helped with the tech side of the Facebook app.
I've been looking at In:Site and plan a follow-up blog with my opinions on the project.
