Brijit - The world in 100 words

“Brijit aggregates the world’s best long-form content and abstracts it in 100 words or less, providing busy, omnivorous, and increasingly mobile readers with rich, qualitative summaries as well as better guideposts for what to read, watch or listen to now.”

They pay users $5 to sum up an article and rate between 0 to 3 dots, from ‘not a priority’ to ‘exception, not to be missed’. Always looking to shrink the diameter of my information sinkhole, I’m going to experiment with Brijit in lieu of a few other publications. I’m subsribed to the “Brijit Recommends’ section which culls only the best of the best.
