Click, Click as fast as you can! You can’t beat this, it’s the College Man!

Friday, November 21st, 2008

TheCollegeMan is their name and college life is their game.

thecollegeman.com is a new website about college rants, raves, funnies and woes for the college-age bros. It was co-founded by a guy named Jon Stewart, so it’s bound to be funny (although this Jon Stewart isn’t quite so famous just yet…but he does have the name going for him.)

Jon and his buddies Adam and Kent wanted to figure out what would happen “when three dumb kids start a website” and TheCollegeMan was born. With stories on everything from music and videos, politics and sports, to humor and sex, the site has laugh-out-loud lines that will keep you hooked and wanting to come back for more.

They’ve also recently grown to become a multi-university website, with special pages dedicated to a few schools (USC and Michigan to name a few) on a more local level, and are still growing. We’re proud to partner up with TheCollegeMan as a content provider, and are about to leak some never-been-released blogs onto their site, so be sure to sneak a peek! TheCollegeMan is like chicken soup for the college kid’s soul… if that soup was Ramen noodles and that kid was drunk.

President Obama Blasts into the Blogosphere

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

In groundbreaking news, President Barack Obama will be joining the blogosphere with his new website, change.gov. When the President of the United States has his own blog, you know that internet blogging is a big deal. Instead of the yearly state-of-the-union address, we can now look forward to more regular updates on his personal website. I don’t know whether he is going to be writing it himself (I’d imagine he is mighty busy) but it is still a huge breakthrough in the way that politics, the government, and media interact.

It’s my own personal belief that the internet is the leading democratic institution out there. Anyone can find an outlet for their opinion and a forum for their interests. It’s very cheap to publish, and inexpensive to use, so it opens the doors wide open for anyone and everyone to take part. As witnessed by Obama’s super-successful grassroots campaign, he is a master at reaching out to the public in a way that they can relate to. Hopefully change.gov will not be the last of its kind.

Welcome to the Blogosphere, President Barack Obama!

Delicious Democracy

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

In case you needed a reason besides civic duty, national pride, or political involvement to head to the polls,  Starbucks, KrispyKreme, and Ben and Jerry’s are all offering free tasty treats for those brave souls willing to endure long lines and autumnal weather for their right to vote. So shoo, get off the computer and head to the polls! No excuses!
