What a fantastic week…it was! We had so many big things happen I don’t even know where to start. So I guess I will start from the beginning of the week.

1. Ed Nash, 18, UK, got his iphone app submitted for approval to Apple. Go Nashy! We also started his official marketing campaign for LamboFaces.com LamboFaces is his philanthropic endeavor where people pay 1 British Pound to upload their face on a website. The 100,000 most interesting and beautiful faces will be painted onto a Lamborghini. The ‘World’s First People’s Lamborghini’ will then be auctioned on eBay with no reserve price and the money will be used to build a hospital in a poor community in the south of Zanzibar. No idea where people think of this stuff. I swear I had nothing to do with this, lol.

Twitter @Nashy (I am not going to spill the beans on his app, but perhaps he will. I have to say it is a pretty cool concept…in a teen tech genius type of way).

2. Ben Lang, 16, (barely 16, lol) is on fire! First he did a book review on his blog which got 25+ comments. So we were able to line him up with a feature article on next month’s Toilet Paper Entrepreneur Blog which gets a whole lotta traffic.  Ask and you might receive. But threaten the influential blog owner who fears the worst if he doesn’t feature your teen entrepreneur and you know something, that usually works Also, Ben got his first article published in his local newspaper. It is a multi part article and just might turn into a regular syndicated column. WHEW HEW! When I heard that, it totally made my day. He is such a giving person and is sincerely and truly deserving of it.

Twitter: @entrepreneurpro (Ask him about his new sponsored comments program, it is a really cool concept!)

Full of grace and inspiration, Danielle Herb, Founder of Drop Your Reins, the Only Official Grrrl Renegade CEO, celebrated her Sweet 16 on October 23rd. Happy, Happy Birthday to Danielle!

Last week I got my Google Wave invite and darn near deleted it….intentionally. I obviously didn’t realize how in demand those invites were….ooops. I read that people were paying as much as $70 on eBay for an invite. Insane. Needless to say, I activated the invite and am currently testing it. The WOW factor wore off in about ummm a few hours. It is neat to read what is on the horizon and some of the bots that will be available for it. But with limited functionality and only a couple of people to test it with, I don’t see all the hoopla just yet.

Also, one of my Triad partners (sophisticated version of a mastermind group)….Greg Balanko Dickson ‘The Small Business Sherpa’, hosts an online show called ‘Social Capital Daily’.  Last week on one of his episodes he talked about the initial experiences we had using Google Wave. I really like the “whole brain” speaking and presentation format that he uses for his short daily 15 min broadcasts. They are an integrated Live Interactive Broacasting and Web Conferencing System. It is called the “Attain Response Marketing System” and I think that it is fairly new. (The guy who introduced it to us is @poweralex on Twitter).  At the same time Greg is speaking, he is flipping the pages of his powerpoint presentation which is shown to the right of him. The program also includes a really nice tool for sending video email. Anyway, check out the system set up, along with what he has to say about Google Wave on his episode entitled ‘Everyone Online is Your Neighbor’. And be sure to “Wave” to me via “teenbizcoach” on gmail if you are currently testing the system and teach me how to do something really cool, that I don’t already know how to do If you want to get on the waiting list for Google Wave  >> wave.google.com @teenbizcoach
