SurveyMonkey.com – Powerful tool for creating web surveys. Online survey software made easy!
.
I’ve always liked SurveyMonkey.com for online survey’s. It’s simple to use and it has just enough functionality to handle just about anything you would need.
There is another tool that comes up a lot- Zoomerang. I’ve never really used it because I’ve never had any issue with SurveyMonkey.com.

Chattanooga Times Free Press | Internet makes college search easier.
This was a great article by Chloe Morrison at the Times Free Press. We had to track down some students to speak with her.
I’m often misquoted in articles, but I think Chloe did a pretty nice job with the accuracy.
Cappex.com Answers the Question ‘What Are My Chances?’ with New College Search Calculator .
We developed the What Are My Chances engine to predict a students odds of getting into college. There are two ways of doing this. The first is to build a statistical model of every college in the us and then run the model against the student profile. The second is our way.
Based on what we learned from colleges across the US we had a pretty good understanding of what would help or hurt a student in the admissions process. The engine weighted all those factors and produced consistently accurate results.
We tested the model by running actual admit/deny data against it. When it said that the chances were good they would be admitted we were usually right. Also, when we said chances were low we were right too.
This was the orginial press release from February 2008. The tool had been up a while, but we waited to formally annouce it. Students loved it.

Online Marketing Rockstar Wanted at Chicago Startup – Cappex : TECH cocktail.
I like the TECH Cocktail parties a lot. They do a nice job uncovering unique business models and cool companies. Chicago has a quite a bit of grass-roots start-up activity. Mostly because it’s difficult to get funding so there are a lot of bootstrappers.
We went there looking for some online marketing help in June of 2007.
The University of Chicago did this article about entreprenurs. I’m pretty proud of it, I got full-page coverage and some nice pictures. Some of the pictures pop up on other things from time to time.
