I know that yesterday was a super mess of posts and maybe quite difficult to keep up with when it comes to what is actually going on with this website. Hopefully, this post will clarify a lot of questions as to what it is we're actually doing.
This whole project started about a month ago as Jeff and I began brainstorming about things which would just be amazingly fun to do. To be honest, we do this all the time, we just never really take the ideas serious. That was, until we started talking about an iPhone application.
With the recession in full swing, the job search for this summer became less and less promising. This became increasingly significant as our friend Mike lost an internship for the summer after a company cut the program due to the recession. With nothing to do for 3 months, he decided to join our team.
After doing some initial research, we found the idea to be entirely plausible. Jeff and Mike both have a bit of a programming background and I've done quite a bit of marketing. We had most of the tools, with three Macs between us as well as two iPhones and an iPod Touch. Seeing as there aren't many other barriers to entry, we decided that we would jump in feet first and use this summer to work on an iPhone application.
We're really rolling the dice and going all out with this project. While we understand that the chances for success are somewhat small, we don't have much to lose either. For Mike and I, this will be our last summer before we enter into what will hopefully become a career, so we figured that this is our last chance to do something we truly enjoy in hopes of making a few bucks. Regardless as to what happens, this looks to be the ride of a lifetime and we're all excited for the journey.
So we began our quest yesterday and look to carry forward on making applications until the end of this summer. This website will serve as our online home for everything we do, so I encourage you to stop by often. We'll be podcasting, making online broadcasts through Justin.tv, answering e-mail questions, and just having a great time.
We encourage you to come along for our ride in whatever way you wish. We plan on updated often, so feel free to add us to an RSS reader. If you ever have a question or comment, send us an e-mail to Info@CollegeKidApp.com and we'll reply as soon as we can.
Thanks for checking us out, we hope to see you around again in the near future.
