Flashcard Friends Combines Social Networking and Online Learning

Second generation Web 2.0 entrepreneurs create a FREE “social learning” website for students, homeschoolers and teachers


Belmont, CA. – February 21, 2008 – Flashcard Friends combines social networking—a la Facebook and MySpace—with online learning. The inspiration for Flashcard Friends came when the founders of the company, Kendall and Ryan Hogan (now ages 15 and 12) were being forced to create flashcards by their whip-cracking father. They complained that “flashcards are lame…why can’t we do them on the Internet…and why can’t they be fun like MySpace.” Their father, Mike, a web 2.0 entrepreneur, started asking questions about how it might work. Kendall and Ryan described a social network where students could create flashcards and share them with their classmates; or teachers could create flashcards and share them with their students.

With the help of their father, Ryan and Kendall defined what they wanted their website to do. Then their father recruited a top-notch team of developers and got it built. You can now see their website at www.Flashcardfriends.com. Following in their father’s footsteps, Kendall and Ryan are second generation web 2.0 entrepreneurs.

Old school (printed) flashcards are a powerful and proven memorization tool. By using them, Kendall and Ryan were able to substantially improve their test scores. But online flashcards enable a lot of very powerful capabilities. For example, spelling, pronunciation of foreign words, automated testing and correction, images, all of this and more is a snap with Flashcard Friends.

Once the flashcards are in the system, you can share them with friends. The Hogan kids are now looking forward to the day when they return from summer break, only to inherit online flashcards from the class ahead of them. In addition to finding flashcards through friends, you can navigate through flashcard decks by category (e.g. math > algebra), or search by tags, keywords, and more.

Some of the website’s functionality:
• Create flashcards with text, pictures and sounds (ideal for foreign languages)
• Four different learning modes: find one that fits you, or use them all
• Auto-magically creates tests from the flashcards and then corrects them
• Uses social networking to manage sharing card decks
• Find existing flashcards by subject, school, teacher, book and more
• Speak into your computer and add the recording to the cards instantly
• Turns a spelling list into spelling flashcards with a spoken version of each word
• Includes web 2.0 technologies like user ratings, bookmarking and tagging
• …and much more

Flashcard Friends enables students to create flashcards, share them, memorize them and then test themselves. Flashcards can be used at every level, from Kindergarten to post-graduate, and for every topic, from learning colors to preparing for the legal bar exam, learning a language, or studying for the SAT.

Nancy Ferraro 5th Grade Teacher, Granite Bay, CA: “I was very excited to discover Flashcard Friends. I introduced it to my 5th grade students, and we have been using it ever since. The students like how easy the site is to navigate, but they are so jazzed to see their friends’ flashcards. My students have already exchanged flashcards on multiplication, fractions, the 13 colonies, and space. All this in one week! I will definitely use this site for all of my classroom flashcard needs.”

Make an easy $5

If you are like me then you are always looking for some pretty easy ways to make some extra cash from the comfort of your own home. I know that I am always on the look out for things like that. In fact I try to read a lot of those blogs that focus on ways to make some extra money on the web and how to make some extra money from home. One of the ways that I have found to make some easy money is by finding those web sites that pay you to do surveys on the web. And a recent one that I came across is running a great special where you can make even more money. It is like extra extra money! If you act pretty quickly you can take advantage of a $5 Signup Bonus "Limited Time Offer" Get Paid by PayPal to take Surveys Online and all you have to do is to give them your email address and your zip code. That is it. It is as easy as that and bam you get five bucks to your account by PayPal. And you need to act on this pretty soon as it is a $5 Signup Bonus "Limited Time Offer" as in it will not be around for ever and ever. And it would suck to miss out on that sweet five buck bonus for acting now. So basically the cost of you procrastinating could be to the tune of five bucks if you end up missing out on this one.

Before you get all skeptical let me just say that this is a totally legitimate site. And you will totally get that five buck sign up bonus. In fact, as soon as I found out about it I went and signed up and I got a confirmation email. Once I confirmed my account the five bucks was sitting there in my account.

They pay out by PayPal which is very convenient for me. Signing up with this is quick and easy. It is really quite painless and you get five bucks! And so far the site has paid out $1,464,256.90 in rewards that have already been paid! That is like an average of $77.69 per person! Sweet, huh?

Obama is a douche

I am a hardcore Democrat.

I've supported Hillary from the beginning.

But I was prepared to vote for whoever is the Dem nominee.

And now I'm not so sure. I don't like Obama.

The more I learn about Obama the more I dislike him.

I can't vote for Obama. And I won't vote for Obama.

Did you catch the Grammy's earlier tonight? Was it just me or did they totally suck?

I think they totally sucked ass.

Time is a valuable asset

I do not know if you have ever tried to run a business like me, but there is one thing that I learned pretty quickly when it came to project management. And that is that time is a valuable asset. So that is why I was exited to read an interview with the author of a new book about project management that says that time is indeed a valuable asset. If you do not already feel this way you may change your mind. At least go and give this excellent interview a read!

Why is Obama misleading people?

If you have been paying any attention at all to what is going on in the race for the Democratic nomination then you know that that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in a pretty intense race right now.

I've have been following it pretty closely and logged on to both of their website today to see what was going on.

Immediately upon seeing Obama's site I noticed that something was askew. Have a look at the number of states won.



While on his blog it states:

Just two weeks ago we were behind by double-digits in many of the states that voted yesterday, but Barack won 13 states to 8 states for Hillary Clinton, with one state (New Mexico) still counting votes.


Hrm. New Mexico is still counting. So, why the difference in numbers? And also take a look at his number of delegates above. Then head on over to CNN Politics and have a look at their number of delegates. Hillary has more delegates that Obama with or without the super delegates.

So the question is - why does he have such obviously misleading info on his site?

Mr. Obama - just because you say something does not make it truth.
