Week #8 - Final Summary

As the Entrepreneurship Idea Project comes to an end, I can look back and say with confidence that I think my idea has gone through many necessary steps and modifications. Beginning with my first blog post with my original idea of just a Musical Tweeting option on Twitter, I can see that although this was a good starting point, my idea was quite underdeveloped at the time. As each week passed, the information I was learning in lecture from Professor Rubin enhanced the content and sophistication of my project idea immensely. If it were not for our lecture and tangent on App Worlds, I would have never thought to take the different Twitter extensions I created and put them into something concise like a Twitter App World.

After my idea of the Musical Tweeting option, I developed a resume add option after listening to the lecture on how important Twitter is becoming in the job world. From there, my idea expanded even further into creating a voice recognition ability of updating Twitter from one's phone. It was not until around Blog Post #5 that I realized that while all these ideas were satisfactory, they did not come together into one clean-cut idea. This is when I made the connection from one of our recent lectures. Ultimately, one of Professor Rubin's tangents helped me come up with the concept I stand by presently.

My final project idea consists of a Twitter Application World that has different downloadable profile attachments like a musical tweeting option, a resume add option, and a voice recognition tweeting option. In the musical tweeting option, this would give Twitter users the opportunity to let their followers know what their current music selection is by giving them the name of the song and artist in a hash tag format with an audio clip link to either iTunes or Youtube. The resume add option would be other application one could download to their Twitter profile in hopes of catching the attention of businesses in order to make oneself appear more profitable. This application would come with the security of resume privacy so that the ability for followers to view it had customizable settings. And finally the last application I developed was the voice recognition option which gives Twitter users the ability to update their profile more efficiently by calling Twitter and vocalizing their tweet which would then be transcribed.

Throughout the project I reviewed other peers blogs as well. My Mood Radio by Vania Myers (http://mymoodradio.blogspot.com/), Live Life to the Fullest by Helen Peng (http://helenology.blogspot.com/), and Press Pass Productions by Brent Tanaka (http://presspasspresentations.blogspot.com/), were the classmate's blogs I commented on for this project. They all had quite insightful ideas and were very interesting to read. As well as the three peer blog posts, I also reviewed a professional blogger to get a better idea of the blog world overall. I submitted a blog commenting on Duct Tape Marketing and the thoughts I had on his opinions regarding Twitter. Overall, my experience with this project has been a good one and it has taught me something important about the creation of entrepreneurship ideas. I know now that nothing ever comes to you right away and that you must build your ideas through knowledge and experience to come up with something full-proof and profitable.
