Web 2.0 Marketplace:
–Websites for Sale
–Websites Wanted
–Jobs Available
–Jobs Wanted
–Facebook Development Services
–Software providers
–Consulting
–Events
…and much more to come.
It works the same as classifieds listings, with a flat rate of what we expect to be around $120/month, but I’d welcome your feedback on that. All listings will be syndicated through the Mashable feed. We’re serving 5 million+ pageviews/month now, so plenty of eyeballs on your listings.
if you are selling your site or services, go and list on the marketplace. You’ll see a free option in the listing price, which provides one week for free if you post within the next 48 hours or so. After the week is up, you won’t be billed: your listing will just be retired and you can choose to relist if you want.

iSkoot extends the reach of PC Calling by allowing users to make and receive PC Calls using only their regular cell phones
iSkoot extends the reach of PC Calling by allowing users to make and receive PC Calls using only their regular cell phones.
With iSkoot, a mobile phone user gets the power of PC Calling as part of their normal communications capabilities. iSkoot eliminates the need for special hardware, headsets, microphones, broadband connections, USB phones and even PCs, and consumers don't have to go looking for a WiFi hot spot.
This program links your mobile phone to your Skype buddy list - and soon they will be able to do it for Google Talk and Yahoo as well - so you can communicate with these contacts via mobile phone. You can use iSkoot with your Blackberry, too. iSkoot provides a relatively cheap way to make international calls (of course, you have to be in a WIFI zone) and it's also a handy chat device. The application is supposed to be easy to install, and it's free for now.

First Meta Library
The Open Library is an ambitious project. When and if completed it could become a great resource for college students, researchers, and anyone who loves books.
The OpenLibrary aims to be the source for information about all the world’s books. Essentially, it acts as a metalibrary. While no one location can house all of the world’s countless books, there can be a place where you can find information about those books, which is precisely what the Open Library hopes to achieve. Search for books either by title or publisher and you’ll find information about the author, along with publishers, and availability for purchase or download. Some books are as full texts that can be searched by page. Each informational page on the Open Library site can be edited, and all edits are stored for comparison. The site is still being developed, so not all features work. Check back for new features.

Inspiring Business Idea Or Story Of Becoming Rich With Farming
IN 1961, William and Lucille Salatin moved their young family to Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, purchasing the most worn-out, eroded, abused farm in the area near Staunton. Using nature as a pattern, they and their children began the healing and innovation that now supports three generations.
Disregarding conventional wisdom, the Salatins planted trees, built huge compost piles, dug ponds, moved cows daily with portable electric fencing, and invented portable sheltering systems to produce all their animals on perennial prairie polycultures.
Today the farm arguably represents America’s premier non-industrial food production oasis. Believing that the Creator’s design is still the best pattern for the biological world, the Salatin family invites like-minded folks to join in the farm’s mission: to develop emotionally, economically, environmentally enhancing agricultural enterprises and facilitate their duplication throughout the world.
The Salatins continue to refine their models to push environmentally-friendly farming practices toward new levels of expertise.
Small farms typically offer quiet pastoral scenes of rolling pastures, grazing animals, weathered barns, and a chicken coop or two.
Polyface Farm, a 550-acre spread in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, is different. The rolling pastures are there all right—but quiet they're not. Each day, men move fences, roll portable henhouses, and redirect cattle from one area to another for grazing. Trees are cut down for lumber and pigs set loose to roll in wood chips and cow manure to create compost.
It's all part of a plan that the owner, celebrity farmer Joel Salatin, carefully honed over the past 25 years to maximize productivity of his 100 acres of farmland and 450 acres of trees. He says the mobile approach enables him to produce not only much more beef, chicken, pork, and eggs than he could ever have done using conventional farming techniques, but better-tasting and more nutritious products as well.
The goal of the mobile approach is to systematically use the manure from his animals as fertilizer for his pasture, thus reducing his energy and feed costs. It's his secret quality-improvement ingredient. He figures his farm's revenue at about $3,000 per acre, vs. about $150 per acre for typical small and medium-sized farms that emphasize grazing. “We can feed the world with this technology,” says an exuberant Salatin, who has written several books describing his techniques and offers popular weekend seminars to farmers and wannabes.

Classmates.com Going For IPO
Classmates.com was the “first” social network is any real sense: launched in 1995, it came 2 years before SixDegrees, 4 years before Epinions’ Circle of Trust and a full 7 years before Friendster defined the model we know today. When asked, I say that Classmates.com was the first. No doubt others will disagree.
This aging social network isn’t dead yet. Today, Classmates.com filed with the SEC for a $125 million IPO. The company, which was acquired by United Online in 2004 for $100 million, is being spun off as Classmates Media, consisting of Classmates.com and the Mypoints.com online loyalty scheme. Its class A shares will appear on the NASDAQ with the ticker “CLAS”. At the end of June, the site had 50 million registered users and 2.7 million paid accounts.
But all is not well. ZDnet reports that the company had a net loss of $250,000 on revenue of $42.4 million for the period ending March 31 2007. Meanwhile, there’s one huge competitor that has already eaten their lunch: Facebook. Not to mention that MySpace, Bebo, Piczo, hi5, Multiply and many others offer better services for free.

BuiltWith is a new service that lets you search for a website, and it will tell you what’s going on behind the scenes
BuiltWith is a new service that lets you search for a website, and it will tell you what’s going on behind the scenes.
For instance, you can search for a site and BuiltWith will pull up what language the site was built in, what services it uses for analytics and tracking, what server it goes through, which widgets are shown on the site, etc. It will also show data on the site’s advertising methods, aggregation functionality, document information and encoding. The basic analytics report you’ll find with BuiltWith is powered by Compete, but there are also links for you to gain additional information from sites like Alexa and Technorati.
The company has determined the different aspects of a website that it would get information for, so when you type in your search query, BuiltWith returns results that match up with the aspects it can profile. That being said, some information can fall through the cracks if you’re seeking out something that BuiltWith doesn’t look for, or if the site developer has inhibited a particular feature from being seen.
Another useful tool that BuiltWith offers is the percentage of other sites profiled in its database that use each metric that’s considered for this site profiling tool. It won’t indicate what sites these are, and there’s no directory of sites that it’s profiled (though there is a tag cloud for popular searches), so this tool is best used as a point of reference in regards to a particular site’s place in comparison with others BuiltWith has looked at. It would additionally be helpful for developers to search by the different aspects that BuiltWith gets information for.

Tinderhouse
With Tinderhouse Publishing all that needs to be done is to send all of the print ready information to Tinderhouse and they will take care of all the reformatting that has to occur to make the information internet ready. Making magazines to into websites is a no brainer for companies so they can monetize their sites and garner extra advertising revenue. The site works on a fixed price basis so it is easy to budget for and outsourcing this work frees the magazine publishers to do what they do best and not worry about that which they aren't the experts in. A company can also outsource its internet advertising to Tinderhouse Publishing if it wishes to do so.
