Wiki is for You?
If you’ve never created a library Web page (and don’t intend to start learning HTML code anytime soon), but want your library to have a Web-presence, maybe it’s time to consider a library wiki. As more educators and librarians collaborate in an online environment, wikis (which in Hawaiian means “quick” or “very fast”) provide users with a tool that can be easily accessed, edited, and updated. As we create a more collaborative 2.0 school library environment, wikis provide an opportunity for students, teachers, parents, administrators, and community members to actively create new information for others.
There are hundreds of opinions on which wiki software is the best. One helpful guide is Wiki Matrix, which provides a comparison. Users can select wikis, evaluate the contents and features, and compare the software.
Decide ahead of time if you want to participate in a free wiki hosting site, pay a subscription cost to a provider to host your wiki, or set up the wiki yourself using your own server. For many, the ease of using a free hosting site has more advantages. In this article the wikis being evaluated are all hosted by the provider.
To learn more about how wikis are used in education and libraries, check Eric Oatman’s “Make Way for Wikis” and Gail Junion-Metz’s “If You’re Curious about Wikis”

Safari Will help You Download Any File From Any Site
Listen up Mac users. You may already know this, but I didn’t until the other day, and it really comes in handy. Safari has a little tool called the Activity Window, which can be accessed by going to going to “Window > Activity” (shortcut: alt + apple + a). In here you can see every file that the website you are viewing is calling upon. The brilliant thing is that by double clicking any one of these files, it will download straight to your desktop.
Considering you would most likely want to download a file containing video or audio, look in the column on the right to see its size. By process of elimination you will see that the biggest file will be the one you want.So if you happened to be on YouTube, you could download any video you wanted. Similarly, if you were on MySpace, and had no respect for copywrite law, you could download anything you wanted.

Redfin
Redfin, The company, as described by TechCrunch, is offering: a combination of MLS listing information (homes for sale) with historical sales data (homes already sold) into a single map. But they take it one step farther than real estate info sites like Trulia and Zillow. According to TechCrunch, if you find a home you may want to buy, Redfin will alpy the role of your buyer broker – backed by a call center with licensed real estate agents. Then, they say, they will reimburse you for 67% of the fee directly on closing. Don't expect much from Redfin today; the company's site is crashing from TV traffic received even before the report aired on CBS on Sunday night.

Discover Small Business Watch
The Discover Small Business Watch is a monthly index of the economic confidence of the nation's 22 million businesses with five or fewer employees.
Key Takeaways from the April Watch:
Economic confidence among small business owners decreased in April, driven largely by a deteriorating outlook on economic conditions for their businesses, rising insecurity about the U.S. economy and increased cash-flow issues. The Watch dropped from 117.7 in March to 110.3 in April, marking the largest month-to-month decline since the survey's inception nine months ago.

Turning useless into useful.
Two years ago, Eli Reich was a mechanical engineer consultant for a Seattle wind energy company when his messenger bag was stolen. The environmentally conscious Reich, who rode his bike to work every day, decided that instead of buying a new one, he would simply fashion another bag out of used bicycle-tire inner tubes that were lying around his house. Soon compliments on his sturdy black handmade messenger bag turned into requests. "That was the catalyst," says Reich, who obtained a business license, gave up his day job, and quickly launched Alchemy Goods in the basement of his apartment building. The company's motto: "Turning useless into useful."

When Banu Ozden, PhD, couldn't get a straight answer out of her health-insurance company regarding the cost of treatment options after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she got mad.
And as she went through the treatment process, she grew increasingly overwhelmed by the fact that the myriad of bills that were sent her way were filled with unintelligible codes and statements that didn't accurately reflect what she owed. She couldn't figure out what to pay--let alone if she was overpaying. When she finally sat down to sort through the mess, she discovered that she had overpaid by about $4,000.
So Ozden decided to get even by building a service that would help others by automating medical billing, tracking medical expenses, and detecting errors, so they could concentrate on getting well. She had already left her job at Bell Labs, where she had worked as director of research of computing systems, and had been frustrated that many of the inventions that she and her colleagues had worked on simply didn't make it to market.
Creating a useful new business with an enormous market seemed like the right thing to do. Ozden, who has multiple patents under her belt, took a leave from the faculty of the University of Southern California and started just such a service, Web-based SmartMedicalConsumer. Its beta version launched in January, 2007.

Lycetts, the UK's premier countryside insurance broker, today launched its search to find the Young Rural Entrepreneur of 2007.
A cash prize of £10,000 is up for grabs to anyone under the age of 35 who is helping to boost the UK's rural economy amid an ever changing rural landscape.
Working in partnership with The Field magazine, the Young Rural Entrepreneur Award will focus specifically on businesses with a rural theme, and on the individuals behind them who have demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit coupled with a clear commitment to sustaining the rural economy.
