In Response to Abby's Kindle Blog

I think the lower prices might draw in more customers. Now Im not very familiar with e-readers or the books you can get with them. But I've always wanted to see maybe e-readers being used in college for books. I always thought that it might be a cheaper option and if offered I think students might prefer it. Hopefully as prices drop more students and colleges will start to realize the potential and start moving towards e-readers instead of textbooks

Is Your Website Self-Absorbed?

Campus Mom LaundryI stumbled onto an article on Marketingtoday.com that talked about websites being too self-absorbed and how it can affect how possible customers react. It was interesting to read because I personally have never experienced a website like that but after reading I decided to see if i could find one. After a while searching I still couldn't find one but it got me thinking about the campus mom project and his website. I was wondering if his website could possibly be sending potential customers away. At first glance I didn't think so but I think that it may be something to definitely look into. An optimized website that is easy and fun for customers to use is far more effective. Do you think the campus mom website could use some work? If so what would you do to make it better.
