Just a “shout out” to Andy the CEO and founder of OurStory.com. As we mentioned before IntelliGrad has decided to share our story and progress with the world so that hopefully we can inspire other young entrepreneurs.

Here is what Andy had to say:

“Making graduates more intelligent or at least more knowledgeable about the basics of being a self-reliant human is a noble cause…I salute your service!”

Best regards, and best wishes for a successful business!

Hi Everyone,

So IntelliGrad is really starting to come together“ but we have made some major directional changes. First, let me say that everyone should check out IntelliGrad on MyStory.com (click here)“ we are posting information about company updates and the story of ’how we came to be’ on this cool website.

So what are we doing differently? Well, we have decided stop creating lots of our own content and instead focus on collecting resources that are already available on the web and bringing them to you all in one spot“ aggregation as the buzzword goes.

So for example, you can check out an interview with the founder of Sam Adam’s Brewery from Roadtripnation.com or a really informative video on how to set a table properly courtesy of YouTube.com.

Look for a ton of new stuff to be available this coming week.

IntelliGrad’s new focus is really on our social networking component. This is in development and we have a few schools we plan to use as beta testers. But really the social network we are creating is not about schools — it’s about you. So, let us know what features would be most helpful to help you network. We’re not going to allows videos, drunk pictures, or music sharing…our focus is only on helping graduates network, collaborate and reach their dreams. MySpace.com can do the rest.

Hi everyone!

Sorry! The IntelliGrad blog was down for a few days while we uploaded the new website. IntelliGrad.com is now alive and kicking, but we’re still ironing out the kinks. We’d appreciate any user feedback about what you see as areas for improvement or change.

We’re encouraging users to submit their own podcasts on various topics – similar to YouTube. Pick a topic near and dear to you: the GMAT, Studying Abroad – anything where you feel your voice and experience could help other graduates.

As of today, IntelliGrad is no longer focusing exclusively on colleges and universities. Our information and offerings are relevant to everyone, so we plan to widen our focus to include more content geared toward high schools.

Get ready for some good ramblings in the coming days!
