Final Summary

My entrepreneurial idea was an interactive website in which users posted their academic schedules or calendars onto their profiles. They have the option to becomes friends with other users that may go to their school. The purpose of the website is to make it easy for friends to schedule classes with each other. I have found as a student that I like to take classes with friends rather than alone. This can be difficult when you have to go around to each person and see what kind of courses they're taking. My website is here to simplify that process.

This concept has developed a little bit from what I originally had in mind. After speaking with a TA, I was informed of a few applications for smart phones that perform similar functions, along with the fact that Facebook used to run a similar feature. I intended on my website being able to sync with Facebook like many websites do nowadays.

This project was interesting because prior to it, I had never really put my mind towards thinking of a unique idea to market. I actually came up with a few ideas but ended up choosing the one that I did. As I take more classes like IST 195, I will be much more likely to think of unique ideas than if I had never taken the course or completed this project.
