		<description><![CDATA[Jeff Edelman Student.com Based in New York Entrepreneur Jeff Edelman &#8211; Founder of Student.com If you want to read about the evolution of a great social website for students, be certain to check out the history of Student.com here: Student.com/history I think this is a great read on how something that started “very, very small, with not much content” can evolve into a website with 940,000 members. Folks, we’re talking about nearly a million members! MO.com only needs a million more members to hit that mark. About Student.com The site was founded by Jeff Edelman in 1995. I’d venture to guess many reading this interview were not yet even ON the Internet yet in that year, let alone founding a website. I’m not even sure I could spell “www” at that stage of the game. The website caters primarily to high school students and college students, providing helpful articles, forums, blogs, advice, and much more. MO: Jeff, you were clearly an early mover on the web. How were you introduced to the Internet? Were you a student at the time yourself? Jeff Edelman: I was already over the hill by the mid 90&#8242;s. :) I had a friend from college who was one of the original computer nerds. He was one of the founders of Physicians Online, a successful Internet community for Doctors. In early 1995, I was the head of a catalog of New York City designed t-shirts, hats, and boxer shorts called Soho Design. My friend called me over to his office to show me the Internet and told me that I had to get my catalog online. In time, I saw that it made sense to create a community of students online just like he had created a community of doctors. And we got the site up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We believe a “feet-on-the-street” sales team is the only way to accomplish our goals. Although we focus on search engine optimization and bringing businesses online, at the end of the day many of these businesses in the rural areas need to be educated on the value of being found in the proper places online. They also need to be taught to realize how the Internet is changing their marketing plans for the future. 

This means we are conducting seminars, speaking to chambers of commerce, and in some cases going business to business. We have been fortunate to get 100 customers in less than 6 months of selling.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The web makes it easy for everyone.  Nobody, for the most part, gets preferential treatment. We are all given free access to powerful tools, and we can work with anyone on the planet to build the next best thing.  I really got started in 1998.  Not too early and not too late.  What 12 years will provide is a little bit of wisdom and a priceless rolodex. ]]></description>
