For those of you who may be wondering about all the comments and attention to the Ask an Entrepreneur post, there is an explanation.  A few weeks ago, we were approached by Brian Mennecke, an associate professor in the College of Business at Iowa State University.  He wondered if he might ask Kurt Karr,  founder of  monkeythis.com, a business that delivers almost anything anywhere in Ames, Iowa from 9 am to 11 pm daily for 99 cents,  to post a real-life business problem on MyVenturepad.  Professor Mennecke would then ask his students to respond to the problem with suggestions.  Not only would they get some experience in the challenges of entrepreneurship, he thought, but they would also have a chance to experience the new marketing frontier of social media first hand.   We thought that sounded like a great idea and  that's why Ask an Entrepreneur has been so busy.  Our thanks to Professor Mennecke for thinking of us.
