Tech-savvy teen is CEO of $200k podcasting website

Miami Herald reports:
Weina Scott answers about 100 tech support e-mails a day. The website must be perfect -- one glitch, and 6,000 irate customers will bombard her inbox.

But first, she has to study her physics.

At age 17, Weina is the chief executive of her own Web-based podcast hosting company and makes an annual salary of $40,000 for working 20 hours a week. Her office is her laptop in her parent's townhouse near North Miami Beach. She balances her work duties with doing homework for seven advanced placement classes at Krop Senior High School and applying to colleges.
A great story.
