Daily Jolt

The Daily Jolt (2000–2010) was a large and robust network of online campus-specific community and news sites.

It was founded by Amit Gupta,[1] Noah Winer, and Seth Fitzsimmons at Amherst College.

The Daily Jolt was run by student volunteers at each school, known as "Jolters", and supported by a small staff located in Boston, Massachusetts.

When the founders left the growth and operations of The Daily Jolt went to Christopher Herron supported by Ron Ayers and Kendra Grimes.

Features of The Daily Jolt included The Love Monkey, a matchmaker system using blind mutual interest, cross-campus (multi-school) and school-specific forums,[3] local and national job boards, and Yarn, a choose your own adventure web story writing system.
