Happy Thanksgiving to all in the Crowd
Wishing everyone in the crowd a Happy Thanksgiving. To reflect on this day, I would like to first thank everyone who has believed in the FreezeCrowd vision, everyone who has signed up for the site, and everyone who has helped us along the way. We greatly appreciate it, as without you we wouldn’t be FreezeCrowd today! The site is still a great work in progress and more advancements are...

Coming up with great ideas such as FreezeCrowd
FreezeCrowd is an interesting story. It’s not just like one day the founder came up with the idea and decided to do it. It’s a long compilation of ideas leading to one idea that launched. If one would say that it was launched on the basis of one simple idea, then they are mistaken. The idea for FreezeCrowd was born in 1999 to create an interactive college yearbook that worked with...

It's a Big Day for FreezeCrowd, and Internet...
It’s a big day for FreezeCrowd, and Internet history. After much development on a college social network idea which was first envisioned 11 years ago, countless revisions, and a few sleepless nights… FreezeCrowd is finally opening its public beta today!
The FreezeCrowd journey has been quite adventurous, encountering millions of keywords, hundreds of bug fixes, and a myriad...

Looking forward to launching FreezeCrowd!

FreezeCrowd visits SxSW Interactive
Fun filled South by Southwest Interactive (SxSWi) is filled with Marketing and Networking
First I want to thank SxSW for putting on such a great event. Without such a great event, I wouldn’t be able to write such great things about this event.
The week was filled with fun, entertainment, and overwhelming crowds of people at SxSWi. It was a great event to attend, and what the national...

The FreezeCrowd Journey Continues, Now Testing...
This week I’ve spent a lot of time uploading stuff to FreezeCrowd. Starting a social networking site involves doing all the great stuff that other people who use the site do not see. It’s more than just recruiting the members to join, yet that’s a very important part, if not the most important part. It’s about the network, and the network affect, creating links, and...

Freezing Crowds on College Campuses
Where has FreezeCrowd been, where oh, where has it been? This is a good question to ask… Last month FreezeCrowd visited many college campuses across the United States to explain what it means to “FreezeCrowd” and that’s not all. We let college students know that we will soon be breaking the ice on their college campuses. Campuses such as Stanford, Miami, UCLA, USC,...

The Journey: FreezeCrowd
Life is a journey, we’re in a world where we can look as it as a destination, yet it’s really a journey if you’ve got a great vision. If your only goal is to launch something, and that’s it, you’re thinking that’s a destination, yet if you’ve got a deeper, and stronger vision for something, it’s a journey. In 1999 I came up with an idea, a...

FreezeCrowd Pitch.co Contest Down To the Wire
It’s the Pitch.co contest I’ve been pushing lately, and here’s a little that I’ll explain about it, and how great it really is. There are tons of people’s ideas out there, they are all excited about them, and publishing a picture and/or a video to have people vote for their big idea. What’s different about these people’s ideas and mine (at least I think)...

Entering Contests for FreezeCrowd
Over the past few years I’ve entered contests for FreezeCrowd, everything from business plan contests, pitch contests, to big idea contests. I think I have a skill in entering contests, if such a skill exists. I enter a bunch of these contests because I believe in winning, yet it’s not always been easy to win. It’s always easy to enter though. The latest contests I entered...

Believe in Your Dreams
Image via Wikipedia
When I was college student, my mother used to send me pocket sized cards to carry around. These cards were the size and shape of a credit, yet greatest value in the card was not that I could take the card out and go on a shopping spree and put myself into debt. The intrinsic value was that I could knowingly take out the card, and realize that I had nothing to swipe, nor...
WatchI Am Free Enterprise - FreezeCrowd. This is the video contest I entered for Free Enterprise, something I’m proud of. What I’m explaining in the video is that anyone can have a great dream, and a vision. What matters is that you shoot for your dreams, and don’t give up, despite any challenge or obstacle. For the basketball shot, it took me 2 shots to make the first half-court...

Revisiting Lehigh
This past weekend I revisited my alma mater Lehigh University for the young alumni reunion, and as always it’s nice to go back. It’s always nice to see the improvements on the campus (new buildings like Campus Square), the new students, as well as the people who were in my class. Not too many came back from my class, but a few did.
I handed out a few FreezeCrowd postcards to...
Why I Believe in Dreams
There are many ways to dream. I dream in color, and I see things that nobody in the world sees, believe it or not, I don’t know why, but sometimes I wake up and think of the oddest ideas, and then I just have to get back to work, have to get back to reality and then I just start dreaming even more. I just think about things deeply, I think about things that nobody else does, but then I go...
I'm For Free Pitches to Investors for FreezeCrowd
One thing all entrepreneurs go through is pitching, and what pitching entails is not just pitching investors, but pitching everyone, the consumer, the users of your product, and the people you encounter on a daily basis, including your friends, and family. You even have to pitch yourself when you come up with an idea and think about it, and then you convince yourself to believe in it, and then you...

CollegeFest Day 1 Success
I’m excited about the opportunity to go to CollegeFest in Boston again this year! It really was a treat to be back in the Hynes Convention Center again. If you could only imagine 20,000 college students gravitating towards you at once. Well, that might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but it was quite a show the first day. We had hundreds of emails and interest in FreezeCrowd, as well...

FreezeCrowd is in San Francisco
I’m in San Francisco, now heading out to promote FreezeCrowd on Stanford and the University of San Francisco. Perhaps I’ll find another school as well. School hopping during the day keeps me busy. On my plane ride from Long Beach I sat next to a new MIT alumni who was looking for a job in San Francisco. We talked a little tech.
So, now I’m in the Silicon Valley, staying at a...
FreezeCrowd is Back in Long Beach and Los Angeles
I’m back in Long Beach, and heading towards Los Angeles to visit UCLA. This is quite an adventure. Realized that UCLA has a lot of schools within its school, and I believe it’s back in session, or just starting today.

The homepage is still under renovation, and we will be launching with a cool new design, and definitely we hope you...
