Dear prospective students (and interested parents, I presume), I am writing to you to tell you a little bit about a class offered at Grove City College. I am not an entrepreneurship major – I am a senior, business management major and it is too late for me. There is still time for you though!!! It took me [...]

I read an article in the Collegian today about a student, Andrew Yellis, who tweeted a comment about Peachtree software. Little did he know how far this little tweet would go. He was sitting in class when he said “getting a quick-books demo…in class. Silly professor – doesn’t she know Peachtree is what all the [...]

I recently discovered a site called Swapmamas.com. Now, I don’t have any kids, but I can appreciate the benefits of this site. The site conducts iteslf somewhat like Ebay, but rather than bidding on items and then purchasing them, you post your child’s outgrown clothes and swap them for a similar amount of clothing that [...]

I recently saw an article about Lady Gaga and her baffling success. Lady Gaga is immensely talented, she is not only a singer, but she is an artist, a fashion designer, and an entrepreneur. Lady Gaga has the amazing ability to keep reinventing herself and this is the key to her success along with the sense of mystery [...]

I had never heard of Creative Commons until Tom suggested it as our blog topic in class. Now that I have spent some time exploring the site I can say that I am really glad that we chose it to write about. As it says on the site itself “Creative Commons is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to [...]

Although I was exempt from the blog posts last week, I think I will write about Kiva after all. I had never even heard of Kiva before this semester, but after a little reading up on the site I am extremely intrigued. Kiva’s tag line is “Loans That Change Lives” and, as evidenced by its users, [...]

Digg is social news website, and the first of its kind. I have known what Digg was for a while and have seen Digg applications on other websites, but this was the first time I have perused the Digg website itself – It’s addicting. I just spent an hour looking at “Celebs With No Photo [...]

Online fame is everywhere, weather its a popular blogger, a YouTube star, or a up and coming model. Everyday, people set out to become famous, its a pretty common dream, its the American Dream, actually. There is a whole slew of stars that got their start on the internet. If you have any real talent in, [...]

YouTube is  the second largest search engine on the web, behind Google. This statistic doesn’t sit well with me – I don’t know about you, but I would have never considered YouTube a search engine. I don’t go there when I want to research a topic or learn about new things. YouTube is NOT a [...]

You may have seen this headline on the internet “Mom’s White Teeth Trick” and been tempted to click on it, and those of you who did may have even been further tempted to act on it and sign up for the free sample. I would be one of those people. BIG MISTAKE. I got the [...]
