Good Note Taker? Need Extra Cash?

If you're the kind of student who always has classmates asking to borrow your notes, you may be interested in Knetwit. The site describes itself as "a new, exciting social networking and knowledge collaboration site that is available to students and teachers at colleges around the world." You can upload notes you take in your classes; when other students download them, you can earn money. More details can be found on the Knetwit site itself.

Of course, there are a few things I feel obliged to mention. There may be some concerns about copyright; your professor may feel that the lecture you are taking notes on, and then selling, is not yours. Additionally, if you're a strong note taker, you can always check with your Student Disability Services office on campus. They often hire student note takers for other student who may struggle in that area. But Knetwit sounded interesting, so I thought I'd pass the information along. Let me know if you've used it, and what you think!
