Market Wednesday Numero Uno!

This past wednesday was College Stack's first UCF Market Wednesday.  We had tons of support and a great turn-out.  We had over 400 students sign up on collegestack.com.  We gave away tons of free stuff. We are giving away a FREE Wii ! every two weeks as long as the UCF community continues to support us and supplies last.  Everyone that signed up on the site got their name in a raffle to win the Wii.  Their name will stay in the raffle indefinitely.  The only name that is taken out is the winner's name, but there are ways to have one's name entered more than once.  Bring a friend to sign up, or find easter eggs hidden throughout the site.  We've built a great service, and we just hope students will find it useful.  You all are welcome to offer suggestions and constructive criticism by emailing:   info@collegestack.com

School Yourself: A jiffy is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. Thus the saying, I will be there in a jiffy.

If You Build It...They Will Come.



College Stack Market is an excellent place to buy and sell those college books.  Sell Sell Sell...Them Old Books!  This is perfect for all those UCF specific text books that can't be sold nation wide.  Take advantage of our UCF area  market.  We've built this at the request of many many UCF students.  They all wanted a place to buy and sell their books, and we delivered.  So, make sure cobwebs don't fill up our market.  If you sign up and build an account, it comes with an "Alerts" page.  This page allows you to know when a user shows interest in your product.  This alert will also go to your primary email if you choose that option in settings, but you don't have to sign up to use the market.  We added a guest posting option so people that don't attend the university could offer items to students that could benefit.  If you are a student, sign up.  There are tons of other services that students can benefit from.  By signing up, you'll see the benefit of this awesome all-in-one design.   Learn everything about UCF and the UCF community from one console.  All the benefits of every site you would ever use with none of the hassle.  We appreciate all the support.

School Yourself :  The amount of money spent on beer every year in the United States is roughly the same as the annual cost of the occupation of Iraq.

thanks.

T - 15 Days... Til CollegeStack.com

As the web grows and RSS feeds become more and more necessary, the world wide web will begin to evolve in another way. It is beginning to fractalize. It is becoming a world wide web of community wide webs. It is growing into a web of webs, or universe made of specialized galaxies. In anticipation of this we've been building this community wide web generally for the college/university community and specifically for the University of Central Florida community first. It was the closest and most populated college community. It is just an all around a great school. So, this is to be the perfect spot for our experiment. We will see see if this digital microcosm is robust and ready for the next step in evolution, and we strongly believe it is. We thought we were being innovative in a unique way, but the pesky universe has it's ways. When an idea is ready to be born, it looks for the most qualified, most capable, and/or most deserving people to manifest, and we aren't the only ones.

After a few months of development we noticed that Google and Yahoo! were essentially attempting to steer the world toward the same unification principal. Of course, they are the dark matter that holds the webiverse together. (Cue the Indiana Jones theme song.) So, we realized that we stepped out on faith, and now that invisible bridge powered by Google and Yahoo! was there to lead us to the Holy Grail. Now, if we can only pick the right one... Relax, CollegeStack.com wasn't built by George Lucas. We've put 10 times more effort into this site than he put into Episodes I, II, and III, and we promise that that Jar Jar Binks is in no way involved in green screen tours of our site, and that he don't has a life debt wis thissin hissin. We want the world to know that if College Stack was Liam Neeson instead of Harrison Ford that that damn Gungan would've been tripped and trampled. Anyway, I'm done.

This all-in-one college community harmonizes and unifies a college student's webtivities and daily computer routines. We have a brick-ton of ideas just waiting to be implemented, and we perpetually welcome suggestions and constructive criticisms. We are open-minded about newer and better ways. If we aren't using them, it's because they are too expensive, or we are just plain ignorant of their existence. Ultimately, we need the support of everyone. We've worked hard to bring these services to students free of charge. So, click click click, browse browse, and come back. This is our life blood. Trust me, you guys want to see what we have planned, and we just need your support, and by "support" I don't mean money. It's free. We just need you to school yourself. That's our motto or slogan or slotto or mottogan...I managed to use it in appropriate context. Unlike dialogue in bad movies where they say the name of the movie and there is a still frame and silence for two or three seconds afterwards for futher effect. AHHH! real monsters, I hate that. ok cool. Well, bye.
