Helping Community News Startups

You Scoop It


You Scoop it was originally planned and built to be a ‘citizen journalism’ network based on the idea that the people who read the news, should power the news. It eventually evolved into an application that allows you to connect with and share the places you go, the people you know and the things you do.
