I have a unique viewpoint on StudyBlue, in that I work for the same company that I rely on for my own study needs.  I hope to share my work and study experiences with you.

Bottom line: I’m like you.

StudyBlue guides me through exams, papers, and presentations just like you guys. In my posts, I want to share some ways in which StudyBlue helps me become a better student every day. Furthermore, I would love to tell some of your stories too.  If you have great stories about StudyBlue shoot me an email at: saul@studyblue.com

Here’s my tip for the week:

I’m really loving the flashcard tool right now. The communication arts test that I’ll be taking next week will probably be heavy in vocab content, so I’m in the process of creating decks for each chapter. Using StudyBlue is way faster than writing out each card by hand. Plus, I can print these flashcards out and take the hard copies with me when I’m traveling this weekend.

The decks are just one of many tools that I use a lot on StudyBlue, and I’ll be sharing more with you guys in the days to come. So keep checking back, and maybe you’ll see something that sparks a new study habit for you.

I’m not the end-all authority on everything StudyBlue, though. I’d love to hear about all the ways you guys use the site. To that end, part of my work will involve beefing up our Facebook and Twitter conversations.

Check out our fan page on Facebook.

Become a fan and post on the page. Post what you like about StudyBlue, what you’d like to see improved, how you use the site, other study tips, a good joke, whatever you want. I want to hear from you.

Follow us on Twitter, too.

I’ll be tweeting daily on a wide spectrum of subjects. It’s an easy way to stay connected with StudyBlue and discover a bunch of other useful links and information about college life.

That’s all for right now. I will be back again soon with some juicy StudyBlue chatter. Thanks for reading.

Let me know what you think. I am considering “vlogging” more often. I had a lot of fun and think it is a great way to speak directly to you, our users.

Thanks for watching,

When I first started hunting for office space in early 2007, I was hoping to find the cheapest space available that could hold 3-4 people. At that time, the team was three and not everyone was working full time.  We found a space in the basement of a house for less than the cost of a studio efficiency.  We’ve got one window (12 inches by 3 inches) in our one room (25 feet by 20 feet) and a bathroom the size of a broom closet.  Nonetheless, it has been home for 2 years and it has been great.  Collaboration is super easy, and as long as we can agree on one radio station, the room is happy.  However, now our office staff has grown, and we need to accommodate up to 10 people at any given time.  Here are some photos of our current office clutter and cramping.

So now that things have been taking off, we’re ready to move into some ‘real’ office space.  Don’t worry, we’re not moving far though – just across the street, literally! We’re really excited because our new space is in a great location, meets our space needs, and is right in the heart of student traffic at the University of Wisconsin. Here are a few photos of the outside of our new space (all the second floor windows).

We should be moved in within a month if all goes well. Look forward for more to come on ‘move-in day’.
