We are finally nearing the finish line, we almost have the site ready to rock in full force again. The forums should be back very soon, next day or so on them.
Then we will be back to posting regularly. Also there will be a pretty cool contest and some ways for everyone to get involved.
Cheers!
What an eventful week plus for YGG. We have been down for the past week due to a hacking of our site by someone out there. We are just working to tweak the old template to work with the most current version of WordPress, so that should be ready for Monday.
I just wanted to come on here and apologize to everyone about the lack of posting and the site being down for the past week.
So I am looking forward to a fresh start next week, and I have a lot of news to tell everyone.
Have a great weekend!
I just wanted to congratulate Barack Obama on his presidential nomination last night. I look forward to the changes he looks to bring to the US. I also want to congratulate John McCain on a well run campaign. I know a lot of my friends here in Canada were watching the results as well!
I also am excited there was a record turnout at the polls this election. It is so important to get out and vote, have your voice heard, its your future!
Great job by both parties, and good luck USA!

Is there anyone else as excited as I am about the new Blackberry Storm touchscreen Blackberry that is coming out?!? Finally we get a touchscreen Blackberry product with better web browsing and multimedia photo’s.
Here is a review over at crackberry.com, my favorite Blackberry website!
What do you guys and gals think?
Wow it has been awhile, life has taken its toll on me the last couple months and I think I am ready to start plugging away at this blog again. I have been contacted by quite a few people asking what has been happening with YGG over the past few months, all I can say is life has happened. It all started with the death of Courtney’s grandma, which took a great toll on the family, our home life and my time, preventing me from really spending the time the writing the blog needed.
Then I took a new job, same industry but a different company. I can honestly say that after my first month there it has stirred the writing forces in my head again. I am really enjoying the way they do business and treat their employees, dignity and respect towards your workers goes a long way!
My next series of articles will be comparison on how to not run a business against how you should operate a business. I will be drawing from past experiences as my inspiration to write. I will also try and feature the current owners of the company that I work for, who I work beside everyday as they mentor and teach. A huge bonus is that they are YGGers to the bone.
So look forward to this new set of articles, I will be back writing regularly myself for now, if anyone else wants to contribute please let me know. I am making a personal dedication to update the blog three times a week myself, hold me to it guys and gals! Also I would like to thank all the understanding people that have been asking about YGG and spurring me to start updating it again, thanks for the support!
This was one of the most exciting things I have come across in a long time. It was recently brought to my attention that YGG was featured in an article about entrepreneurship on the New York Times! I have had a lot of calls and emails from the article that was featured on Febuary 20, 2008, what a great feeling and accomplishment.
Here is the part of the article we are in:
For those who want to skip the corporate trenches and go right to being the boss, there is younggogetter.com, run by three small-business owners in their 20s.
One is Aaron Kuroiwa, who operates LeTranslator, an online business and legal language translation service, and gives concrete advice — like his recent posting of three steps to becoming more productive.
Also great job Aaron on the awesome article that they read and liked, you got your name in there! You had a great article and i am glad it was recognized appropriately.
HERE is a link to the article if you are looking to read it.
Have a great day everyone and we here at YGG are very excited about the future!
The last two weeks have been trying weeks for us here at Younggogetter. Transferring the files from one server to another to complete the purchase has been anything but easy. Corrupted files and organizing a few people who all have busy schedules is not an easy task.
Lorren Biffin
He made this all possible, taking care of it days that I was not available and any time I needed him. Thanks for all the hard work Lorren.
Eric Windsor
Without him we wouldn’t have the files! And I am sure he is happy it is all done so we will stop harrassing him now!
Now we can get back to our regular posting and commenting. I am really sorry about the delay and I want to thank everyone for their concern over the past two weeks.
Look forward to new content starting right away!
Joey Pomerenke of PetEcommerce.com is looking for some entrepreneurial sales stars to work with him on his soon to launch new B2B pet industry application. He has made me familiar with his soon to launch business and I think it would be a great opportunity for someone to gain some valuable experience working with a new Internet start-up.
Joey was kind enough to send me a complete proposal for anyone that is interested so you could get familiar with the business and decide if this is right for you.
So I will let Joey explain it in his own words:
Help grow an Internet startup!
Do you want to be apart of a growing pet industry startup that was recently featured in Pet Age and Pet Product News?
PetEcommerce.com, a hot new Internet startup, is seeking a team of independent sales representatives. Ideal candidate will have experience and must be an organized self-starter with time management skills and ability to work independently.
After a very busy January for us here at YGG, meeting new people and learning a lot, I would like to start off the new month on welcoming some new faces to the YGG team. I would like to thank everyone for their interest, we have gained quite a few good writers, and lets welcome our new family members!
These brave people will be helping shape what’s to come on YGG in the next year. They will be committing their most valuable resource, time, to help better the community.
