		<description>&lt;b&gt;Acquiring easy College Credits with the CLEP&lt;/b&gt;

So what is the College Level Examination Program (CLEP)? it&#039;s a comprehensive program by the College Board which can allow students to get college credit at many major universities including Yale and University of New York. There are a number of exams in dozens of subjects including Fire Management and Quality Assurance.

Having taken a number of the examinations for myself, I can attest to their validity as a great program to get very cheap credits. Read a textbook on the subject; I myself read a text on Philosophy. The next step is to register for a proctored examination through a testing center. Check the College Board website to search for test centers in your area. Depending on the area you live in there might be up to a dozen various examination centers. Each exam costs around $55 but there is often an additional charge imposed by the test center which can vary in price.

At the test center, you will have to check in with the program supervisor. You will be led into a room with terminals which run special software. The examinations are all done on computer and offer participants great flexibility in taking the test. One can go back to questions, mark them to look over, skip questions, see the number of questions one has left or any number of other operations. The program also make available a calculator should you be taking a math test.

One of the leading colleges which accepts CLEP credits is Drake State University. Drake State University is a private institute in Rockford, Illinois which offers a variety of associates, bachelors, and masters college programs -- specializing in Business Administration, Professional Development, Public Relations, Human Relations, and a number of other majors in the arts and sciences. Prior Learning Assessment degree programs are also available. Drake&#039;s flexible schedule of lecture and online courses is specialized for working adults. Drake State University is known as one of the most respected, specialized, and prestigious universities in the nation.

So, what reason do you have to take it? If you are a senior trying to finish up degree requirements, if you are knowledgeable in your field of study and would like recognition for it, or if you simply want to bypass the absurd costs imposed by colleges then CLEP is for you. It is very cheap, usually $55 for the exam and an admin fee that is almost always under $25. It is a great way to earn college credit based on what you already know without sitting through an college course for a semester. If you take chemistry in High School, for instance, there is no corresponding AP, but for college credit, consider taking the CLEP. It&#039;s one day of your life and only an hour and a half long. In addition, you will find out if you pass immediately. Typically a score of 50 is usually good enough for credit for most colleges. You should check with your college for more information.</description>

		<description>Chris, why do you feel the need for people in your Facebook or LinkedIn profiles to be in both, but also to follow your blog, interact with you on Digg, Stumbleupon, and Twitter? By engaging the same people in all of the above, where is the unique if everything is the same?

&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2008/06/04/twitter-social-media-and-unmashing-the-mashable&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Penelope Trunk recently blogged&lt;/a&gt; about the many social media sites and how it&#039;s silly to connect with the same people about the same topics on all of them.

&lt;i&gt;It’s clear to me that blogging is best for expressing big ideas. If you can’t convey new ideas on your blog, then you probably won’t get a lot of traffic. And most blogs that do well have a single theme and the audience can depend on the theme dictating the content of the blog. But Twitter is not good for fleshed-out ideas. I see people using Twitter for a lot of stuff, but not for fleshed-out ideas. And Flickr is good for expressing passion. Way better than, say, Twitter.

It’s acceptable to have different places in your life for different aspects of your personality. So don’t flatten yourself by presenting only perfect consistency across Twitter and LinkedIn and blogs and Facebook.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>Response to Jay from above:

Wasn&#039;t sure if you were aware of them Jay, but the girls from www.Mego.com (Ariel and Julia) have been hunkering down to develop a &#039;portable social network profile&#039; - you fill out your profile once and it fits in all social networks, is the idea. Hopefully they&#039;ll become the household name in this arena; we&#039;re working with them to integrate it into our network as soon as they have it polished up....

Thanks for your insights,

		<description>As an adjunct to this discussion thread I posted two related threads this morning.  Chris, it is amazing when you find minds thinking about related issues and posting about those issues from different yet connected perspectives.

How do you rank? here http://www.relationship-economy.com/?p=1106

And Do Numbers Create Relationships? here http://linktosocialutions.com/?p=89

Feedback and commentary very much welcome, I love learning from &quot;we the people&quot;</description>

		<description>I am convinced that in the not so distant future we the people will be enabled to design our own &quot;social portal&quot; which can be integrated with any other social portal.  As Doc Searls moves VRM forward the walls that exist today will come donw and the web will become much more productive.

Additionally, our government is already using &quot;smart agent&quot; technologies that cuts through all the different codes and protocols enabling the collection and organization of information, people, content, activity, from anywhere and everythere.  In essence the &quot;ultimate social portal power&quot; is already working but yet to be released for commercial or personal use.

While the major social networking and social media portals will have a role the individual portals will become more of the utility of choice and that utility will cut across mobile, television broadcasting and on line  activities.  It will be a new and very productive world with dynamics that create brand new markets centric to relationships.

That is my take and we&#039;re likely to see it unravel within the next 48 months if we the people get our way.

What say you?</description>
