Hi from Ross from Geelong, near Melbourne

[rosshill]

Hey guys,

I can't wait to see how this site grows over the next few months.

I'm Ross, I'm 20, and I live in Geelong which is about an hour from Melbourne towards the nice surf beaches.

This year I'm finishing the final year of the Entrepreneurship program at RMIT in Melbourne. I'm also starting a new local business reviews venture so that will be the main focus.

Since this is an introduction I guess I can plug a little of what I do :P

The two projects that are most relevant to you guys are Hatchthat and The Hive.

At Hatchthat I publish interviews that I do with entrepreneurs, and The Hive is a new meetup group that a group of us are starting in Melbourne this year. More info at the websites.

Hi Ross good to have you here!

It looks like you have a lot of nice sites already and only 20! Well done I think you have a good start on some of us, your sites look great. I'll make sure I bookmark them.

Hey Ross,

Welcome on board! Thanks for joining, Hopefully you will find this place a useful resource for some of your ventures, and we will help out where we can!

I would love to hear about some of your ideas that you are working on currently, and how the Entrepreneurship program is going.

Hey guys,

Entrepreneurship is going well, they have really improved the course a lot in the last year. Anything in particular you want to know about?

I really should narrow down what I work on.. but for now:

* Coverhunt is kicking along and has a redesign and few seo changes happening, along with perhaps a blog and linking it up with Justcoverz (another redesign there).
* Hatchthat is growing well but hasn't really even begun its true potential so there is a lot of work to do there, starting with a redesign. I've had lots of advertising enquiries and even an offer to buy which tells me there is something useful to it at least
* A local business reviews site, which I'll show you in a few months when I get it running - that is the main one I'll be working on this year.
* Thrive, making websites, I'll continue this but it won't be my focus.
* The Hive (.org.au) I'm not sure about, gotta catch up with the guys after the break and see what is happening.

Yeah only 20, but 21 in June so I better keep moving before I get old :P
