I know that's the case with my son: he is not even in college yet but he has gained some impressive knowledge as far as internet marketing is concerned and that will prove to be a huge advantage in the long run.

Who knows... I personally think they should have officially released the news sooner. Janet Jaan,

I can only assume they waited this long because they maybe are trying to reach a few more students now that most schools’ spring semesters have recently begun. Who knows… I personally think they should have officially released the news sooner.

I can see people's reservations of 'academic' getting involved, but I think that's besides the point. It's all about getting students (and sme's) more involved in online marketing. I for one applaud the initiative....and which is why I signed up. I'm competing in a team of five on behalf of Bournemouth University (UK) You can follow our progress here: http://tinyurl.com/3xjxuv I think this is a great initiative from Google.

It is extremely interesting that Google states "Developed by professors in collaboration with Google, the Challenge is a great opportunity for students to gain practical, real world online marketing experience." How can professors help anyone get practical real world experience when they are locked up in "academia" Let's get real Google. Wish one didn’t have to be an academic to participate.
