Switchpod.com = Teenage Entrepreneurs

Weina Scott and Jake Fisher’s Story: Even among startups with cut-to-the-bone budgets, the creation and launch of Weina Scott’s and Jake Fisher’s podcast hosting company was a remarkable exercise in minimalism.

Weina wrote the programming code for Miami-based Switchpod.com on Microsoft Notepad. Then she and Jake, her marketing guy, built a Web site, started posting on message boards to get word out about their service, and blew through their ad budget – $50 – for online promotion.

Now considered one of the top five podcast hosting companies in the industry, Switchpod, launched in 2005, averages 1 million downloads a month and enjoys a 20 percent monthly growth rate in listener downloads. It recently was acquired by Wizzard Software for $200,000 in stock.

Oh, yes – both entrepreneurs are high school students.

Platewire.com ! Interesting Concept

But now there’s revenge on the Web.

Here’s how it works. When someone cuts you off, you write down the license plate then get to a computer. Select the state, type in the plate number and spew. Platewire.com is a public database meaning anyone can make a report for everyone to see. It’s that easy to share your gripe with the world.

The site is the brainchild of two stepbrothers. They get up to 2000 hits per day with hundreds of new postings about bad drivers. The goal: reduce road rage and save the rage for your keyboard.
