Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

I just heard on the news that entrepreneurs are snapping up domain names that have to do with the tragedy, and they are already auctioning them on ebay. 

Saying entrepreneur in that sentence caught my attention.  Yes, the fact that some people do this type of thing, to make money.

That`s disgusting, and not entrepreneurial, but simply taking advantage of a horrible situation. If their names mention Virginia Tech, I would hope the university sues them for trademark infringement. That`s what I would advise them to do.

That is not cool, I have to agree with BrandAlchemy on this one, I guess sometimes you are cool.. But come on, how can someone profit off some else`s tragedy? I would make them give the money to the families that need it. Now that is some crazy stuff.

When starting your own business the need to "know-how" is greater than money!

I don`t understand what anyone would want to do with one of those domain names....

Techmen, we`re Techmen, with spirit true and faithful,

Backing up our teams with hopes undying;

Techmen, Oh, Techmen, we`re out to win today,

Showing "pep" and life with which we`re trying;

V.P., old V.P., you know our hearts are with you

In our luck which never seems to die;

Win or lose, we`ll greet you with a glad returning,

You`re the pride of V.P.I.

Chorus:

Just watch our men so big and active

Support the Orange and Maroon. Let`s go Techs.

We know our ends and backs are stronger,

With winning hopes, we fear defeat no longer.

To see our team plow through the line, boys.

Determined now to win or die:

So give a Hokie, Hokie, Hokie, Hi,

Rae, Ri, old V.P.I.
