A few weeks ago I referenced Nick Marx's Wazzala site as a site to watch in the TechCrunch50 and here we have it: Wazzala has made the first round cut with my buddy Nicholas Marx at the helm. Wazzala is an idea that helps Asian students prepare for English college entrance exams and if you have any understanding of the 30 billion (that's a "B") dollar worldwide education market, you understand how bright, and right, this idea is. Here's the letter they sent to him, informing him of Wazzala's forward motion: Way cool.
