Here I am, a small-time blogger on a relatively small-time blog.  I support the little guy rising up and offering good information to the world via internet, and I believe that the little guy is underrated.  Even through all that, nobody does sports blogging better than ESPN.com. Look at this pic of the front page of [...]

For each major social networking site, I like to go through the login process as if I am totally computer illiterate.  I look for computer lingo that I would not understand, suspicious or unnecessary question, too long of info forms, etc.  Basically, I register for sites as if I was my 55 year old father. While [...]

I received an email today that I have been selected as a sample for Grove City College’s contribution to the US Census.  Perhaps it is indeed the Grove City College in me, but that email made my stomach turn.  Perhaps I am a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but I do not like the government [...]

As an entrepreneurship major, I had heard about Kiva prior to my recent investigation, but I thought the best way to understand the site would be to sign up.  So I did!  I have some friends who actually invest and are on Kiva looking for investments, so I basically understand what the site does and [...]

Sometimes I sheepishly Google my name to see if something cool comes up.  The few times which I have been noted in an article or for sports, they sometimes come up on Google.. and I feel special. YouTube is a place to belong, and the silly videos or happenings of my life can be posted via [...]

As an Entrepreneurial Studies Major, I wonder what makes a business uber-successful?  I see common characteristics in good business, like financial wisdom and a good industry understanding, but what allows the Googles and YouTubes to dominate like they have? I believe YouTube fits in perfectly, and is even a premiere contributor, to an American trend of [...]

Rob is a 25 year old funny-guy, and he is jobless.  One of the most popular and charismatic young men one could meet, yet he has not found a job that either suits him or in which he suits the job.  His larger-than-life personality and witty humor are wonderfully attractive at a party but are [...]

Here is a video about an easy way to export a comprehensive list of all your Tweets. If you do not have many Tweets or are just starting your account, then this video might be useless to you.  But since Tweets happen in real time, thousands of Tweets can happen over a year.  So in case [...]

In a world of too many acronyms, IE (internet entrepreneurship) and PR (public relations) are becoming commonplace names..or letters.  Their relationship is foggy, as the two fields are clearly connected but not so clearly as to what extent. Working in PR this summer, I have seen the devastation that the economy or at least the recession-mindset [...]

In 8th grade, personal websites were the ultimate cool.  If you did not have a GeoCities account, then you might as well have been in the boys’ glee club.  So when Facebook came around for my graduating class of 2006, the simplicity of having a clean-looking, user-friendly was nostalgic and exactly what we liked. Now though, [...]
