Week 8 - the Internet

Since my idea is itself a website, I will have to know how to function on the Internet. I should know what everything means in case I get any questions or if I have some trouble while working. I will have to hire people that are intelligent in the job they desire along with knowledge on the internet. That will be very important for the hiring process. As I mentioned before, I want to hire people that are young and either just graduated college, almost done with college or in graduate school. I want the website to be made with people who understand the people that are using our services.

This week's lecture reminded me of how important e-mail is. Everyone uses it, including me that checks my e-mail every chance I get. That reminded me of how contact information is very important in every business. If there is a wrong order or any questions, there must be a number to call or an e-mail to write to. I will set up a number with very long hours because I know college students do not sleep much. For me, I do my best work when I am up late at night. There will be a few e-mails on the contact page. I want there to be two e-mail addresses for questions and for internships/jobs. I also want my e-mail address up because I want my company to be very friendly and welcoming. I do not want it to seem like a big corporate company where the owner does not care.

All this talk about the internet and technology makes me want the students on my site to be knowledgable too. I want there to be a section on the site that teaches about technology and the internet. I want there to also be a "tips" section for college students, such as "How to get along with your freshman roommate," "What to bring to college," "How to keep yourself on track," and more. I want my site to be useful for than just buying books. I want to help students, like myself.
