I have hear that Apple is offering free engraving on Ipods that are purchase new. I would be interested to see if there were any similarities in these businesses!

Cronk Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:30:43 +0000 http://thinkbeta.com/blog/?p=1138#comment-5121 I always wonder how entrepreneurial ideas such as these get started. What was her inspiration? Its a great idea for her especially if it is something she enjoys, and is does well. Thats always a number one key in my opinion to entrepreneurship. You have to like it, and know how to do it, and know how to do it well. thats the key to success. Im kind of interested to see the bike lights for the spokes and how that is made, because it has to be able to spell it out while the wheel is moving. I would bet its something a lot like those clock radios you sometimes see that have a type of pendelum that swings back an forth at a high rate and shows the time. pretty interesting to me though. to ask another question, How many work hours do you thnk she puts in a day/week?

She has a great idea and also has a space in the market. It also reminds me the importance of knowledge. I think people without eletronic knowledge will never think of such good ideas.

The name of her website is comically geeky and insightful. It seems as though Ms. Fried has the advantage of an analytical and creative mind.

Besides just having products that can be customized, she also has many products that come in kit form and you complete yourself. It reminds me of an adult version of Lego's where they give you the pieces but its up to you to follow the instructions and come up with the finished project. One of her kits even let you build your own gameing machine that you could program games on to. Although it seems too advanced for me, I believe Ms. Fried will have a lot of success with anyone that has an interest in working with their hands, electronics, or computers I think Ms. Fried has a very interesting concept here.

The products she sells and the services she provides are also great. She has a great idea to try to do something she obviously enjoys since she went to college for it and she must be good at.

Its pretty cool to hear that a woman actually was one of the first to deal with computers, every time i hear about computers its usually bill gates this and bill gates that. Interesting stuff. she has a really cool website going for her. its nice to hear for once that someone that got an education started a business withing their range of experience. the idea is also so original, yet needed for a wide range of customers. i also liked the fact that I never even heard of this Ada before.

Kits are a very cool idea and a good way to make money, however while the names may be attractive to younger or more "techy" people, they may turn away some other potential customers. A parent for example looking to buy product that their son or daughter has talked about will probably have no clue what an xOXboX, Xbee, or other products are, and may have no interest in digging deeper to find the product that they are looking for.
