Eight Women Sprint to the Finish Line on Ideablob.com

Ideablob.com, the online community for entrepreneurs and small business owners where the idea with the most votes from the community wins $10,000, has a race to the finish line this month where all eight of the finalists are women! The present leader of the pack at the time of this post is "Girl Talk", the idea of a former Teach For America Corps Member who wants to create a network of book clubs for at-risk adolescent girls to empower them, through the discussion of literature, to become leaders in their communities. On ideablob.com, you post an idea and you can get advice from others in the community or give advice and vote for your favorite ideas that you find there. Two women have already won for their ideas, one in November07 and one in January08. Ideablob.com is sponsored by Advanta. It's great to see these opportunities for advice and support as more and more women turn to starting a business of their own.
