When the three founders started College-Cram.com back in 2002, we wanted to help students with the high cost of a higher education. Our primary focus was on a viable alternative to the over priced textbooks.

We started off by creating generic content (Cramlets) that covered the basic concepts in a particular subject i.e... Accounting, Finance, Algebra, etc. We put our heads down and started to producing content and programming it into Flash. We used our network of editor friends and other subject matter experts to review the content for quality and accuracy. We first launched College-Cram.com in January 4, 2004.

Since then we have been listening to the students and instructors from around the world. We eventually made College-Cram.com a free site and changed our entire revenue model, all along wanting to help students study faster and make better grades without the sacrifice of spending hundreds of dollars per semester.

In September of 2007 we re-launched College-Cram.com in the current version as a social learning site for students to take control of their learning and access the quality content we have produced through the years. We continue to create new content every day in the content-specific communities, honestly because we love learning and sharing our knowledge with others.

With the social learning aspect now in College-Cram.com, any student or instructor can participate by producing their own notebook entries, or by sharing their class notes with all. Social learning now depends on the members, not just the three founders, and it is exciting to see individuals join in each day. Keep up the good work and continue to spread the word about the exciting learning experiences found at College-Cram.com.

I read the book "Kite Runner" by Kaled Hosseini back during the summer and was absolutely rivited to it for the whole week. Hosseini peals back the curtain to the culture of pre-taliban and post-taliban Afghanistan. As I read through the book and was hit in the face with classicism dealt through the tribal structures and the development of a young man from cowardice to strength, I was confronted with my own personal development and value structures. How do you grow up a young boy into a man! This was an excellent book and worth recommending to anyone who wants to gain a perspective of the various cultures of the middle east.

I have been watching some classic TV lately from my childhood...

I  was always a fan of the Gomer Pyle show. I noticed yesterday an uncanny resemblance of Gomer to Mike Huckabee. You be the judge!
