Entrepreneurs constantly check trends. I do. For instance, within the last year I started asking what the average U.S. female undergrad was doing. I was looking for college age bloggers. Why? I get a lot of stats-- and I simply wanted to know somethings.
I wanted to find a college blogger that blogged like me.. i.e., "I am in a bad mood today and here's why...". I wore this.. I went out and did this..
- where she shops
- her study concentration
- how she parties
- what she does to maintain health and diet
- what she wears
That said, who has the time? I agree. I blog as an outlet and to note the things happening. The many details-- for FBI/DOJ consumption. So I should not have been surprised I could not find that many.
Then the other day-- I did another search and found Seventeen's Freshman 15 series. I did not go through all of the posts, however I really like what they [Seventeen] have done there.
It is no secret that print magazines have suffered because of the internet-- so when I find a series like this from an online version of an old standard, I feel they have found the formula. Seventeen has been around since I was 17-- and I am happy to see this.
Missing my youth? No, as I said-- I get a lot of data, and I wanted first hand accounts.
