Shimmy, as an innovative social tool, enables attention to be pointed in more purposeful directions. It evades the 'attention at all costs', clickbait, self-gratification and virtue signalling we have grown so used to, in favour of rewarding attention, respecting data privacy, creating valuable, transparent, positive impact.

Whilst we're on the edge of our seats waiting to download Shimmy, here are some pointers to help you to thrive with social in the meantime:
- Be mindful of our attention. Pay attention to how much time we spend on different apps and websites, and try to be more selective about where we focus our attention.
- Take breaks from technology. It's important to give our brains a break from the constant stimulation of the online world.
- Be conscious of the information we allow ourselves to see online. Don't share or believe everything you see on social media.
- Support companies that are committed to ethical and responsible data collection and use.
The attention economy is a complex issue, but there are things we can do to protect ourselves from its negative impacts.
