Pete Cashmore is a true millennial entrepreneur. At the age of 19 in his hometown of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Pete created Mashable because of his passion for sharing how web tools and social networks were transforming human interactions and reshaping cultures.
And he has been pushing Mashable ever since. Mashable is a leading source for news, information & resources for the Connected Generation. Mashable reports on the importance of digital innovation and how it empowers and inspires people around the world. They have reached 40 million unique followers and 20 million social network followers. Pete is described today as the “Sage of Media” and continues to gain followers daily.
Hmm…quite an interesting concept! With the flack that the millennial generation continues to receive regarding media, it’s nice to hear that someone has something good to say about it. His website interface is beautiful and quite professional. I wonder how he will pivot in the future!
With the prolific number of social media outlets available today it’s interesting to watch the rise of tools that combine them all into one place. Another example is the popular app “Timehop” that pulls in your past facebook, twitter, instagram, anything to show you what you were doing in the past on that day. Tools that combine our social media are the next wave of popular outlets.
