YouIntern Pairs Co-Eds with Agencies

To drum up some business, YouIntern — which launched in February — is giving a $10 iTunes gift card away to one lucky person who registers on the site.

YouIntern is where ad students and creativity-starved agency execs can find one another. (Just … not in the craigslist hook-up sort of way.) We love its simple but totally self-entitled “Freedom from coffee and copies” manifesto.

Agencies can post internships and give advice, like the CSO of StrawberryFrog does here. And internships can be rated. Modernista, for example, scored a 4.4 out of five.

College students can find gigs by review, role, state, experience and compensation. The search engine is surprisingly good — there must be a salivating engineer back there just waiting to cash in.

There’s just one issue: why so heavy on the red? You practically need to take out an insurance policy just to look directly at the page.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
