Some recent college graduates and a Stanford University doctoral candidate in social network theory—all of whom are remarkably ambitious—have created a free social-networking site for entrepreneurs. The site is called YouNoodle, and it is designed to connect people who are involved in inventions, university technology, and business competition.
Businesses featured in YouNoodle include those just getting off the ground and ones that have been up and running for a few years.
The Stanford doctoral candidate who is one of YouNoodle’s creators is Rebeca Hwang. According to the YouNoodle Web site, she is a chemistry and physics “Olympiad medalist” of Argentina, and was awarded a full scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
YouNoodle has been in beta since March 2007 at a number of universities, including Harvard University, Imperial College London, Oxford University, Stanford, and the University of California at Berkeley.—Andrea L. Foster
