Skimbit, the world’s first social decision-making tool, is a free service designed for busy people to manage the results of their internet research by letting them skim the best bits of sites they like, and presenting their findings in a manner that makes it easy for friends and family to collaborate and make a group decision. Rather than copy and paste web links into emails and sending to friends for feedback, which can be a cumbersome and messy process, Skimbit skims the title, description, image, and decision-making criteria of options you find, and presents all these findings on one page for others to compare and, analyse and rate using a variety of different methods.
Skimbit then automatically aggregates this feedback, and presents the results in a fun graphical way, so a group decision can be easily made! Finally, Skimbit gives you a set of tools to act on your decision, like a checklist, notepad, map and IM tool. Furthermore, Skimbit has built a platform that creates fully customized and integrated instances of the Skimbit.com site, that other portals or companies (like concierge, wedding planner, production companies, etc.) can license and offer to their own customers. This is a world first platform, which has the potential to redefine social shopping tools across the web.

Why Skimbit.com It Might Be A Killer
There are hundreds of start-ups that base their revenues on advertising. They rely on there being an unending number of people who have the time and inclination to be ‘social’ and want to share their lives with strangers. Skimbit is ‘just social enough’, they are primarily a useful tool to cater for the majority of the population that are busy, want to remain relatively private, yet still use the internet as a research tool prior to making a purchase decision, and still want feedback from their friends and family on these decisions. Also, they have built a pioneering platform for generating customized instances of the site that they license, and they have already secured a significant contract with Wedding TV.
