EduFire + Our first “press”
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged as we’ve been heads down on getting a product to market but I wanted to offer a quick update.
First of all, we’ve got a brand new name. We’ll be launching next year as EduFire.com. This name was inspired by the Yeats quote “Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.” That quote does a great job of conveying our feeling about education. Education/learning isn’t about just memorizing facts and figures. Rather it’s about inspiring new ways of thinking and getting people to spread their wisdom with others and realize their genius. To the extent that we can help to enable that we’ve done our job. 
As for an update, I was gonna write one but this interview we did recently with Brian Norgard (founder of Newroo which was acquired by Fox Interactive last year and eventually became MySpace News) sums it up pretty well. Check it out:
We’re launching privately to a select group of language tutors and students this month. If you’re interested in being a part of our beta drop me a line at jon @ edurev dot com.
