Velingo has developed a system that finds "related keywords" for Search Engines

Velingo has developed a system that finds "related keywords" for Search Engines. As any Internet user knows, Search Engines are very useful once the user queries with the exact keyword that will trigger the desired results. The slightest change in spelling or verb tense is enough to invalidate the usefulness of a search. Even worse, if the user doesn’t know exactly what to search for, the results often become meaningless. Velingo offers a solution for finding “related keywords.” Regardless of the tense or spelling, Velingo’s results are based on the related concepts, more than the actual keyword.
Their tags are based on user actual behaviors, which means searching is a lot easier. Once you execute a query on Velingo you’ll find suggestions for better keywords and social relevancy rankings. Try it today.

Entrepreneur Steve Poland had decided to create a start-up that was entirely ‘Crowd-sourced'

Poland’s idea is still viable. It’s a valuable way for entrepreneurs and anyone curious about the web startup process to learn about everything from ideas to execution. It’s got that hint of democracy and participation that the 2.0 crowd loves.
Entrepreneur Steve Poland had decided to create a start-up that was entirely ‘Crowd-sourced.’ I guess you could say he was taking web 2.0 to its logical extreme. Poland’s ultimate goal was to raise $20,000 ++ in contributions, or donations from blog readers and anyone else feeling particularly generous, whilst blogging about the whole venture. Readers would actually be able to participate in business decisions by taking part in polls and discussion. Originally and aptly titled Ringside Startup, the project has now been renamed WeBothLike. Poland ran into problems raising the money. The scheme and plan remain the same—that is, we, the public will still be able to get all the inside details, however, the venture has already been started. The aim of WeBothLike is to connect like minded people. Poland will keep blogging, he’ll keep his panel of experts, and he’ll continue to accept contributions. Follow his progess and vote on the future of WeBothLike.

"LaunchFeed" a great resource for both the people launching the websites and seeking exposure

LaunchFeed is dedicated to showing exactly that, people can freely post their news startup websites and what exactly they do. Its looks as if lately they have been posting anywhere between 1 and 5 startups a day; a number which will surely increase with time and as people become more accustomed to using the site and referencing the site for new websites. Reviews and comments can be added to the startups by members of the service who are logged in, but reviews do not necessarily accompany every startup, only if someone feels compelled to write a review.

Oobing does offer some functions not available on similar social networking sites

Oobing does offer some functions not available on similar social networking sites; the chat function and photo-rating feature, to name a few. Its layout may seem less intimidating than MySpace or Facebook. Ample advertising space should generate considerable revenue, if the site proves successful.
Its interface will look very familiar to the MySpace user, and it offers most of the same options. Users register, create a profile, and keep in touch with contacts via live chat, messages, and blogs. A few things that separate Oobing from its competitors are the “Rate Photo” and “Send Ecard” functions, which let users do just that: rate other user’s photos and send your friends cards over email. Also, Oobing offers a unique chat function which lets you communicate with multiple contacts at one time. Unlike some other popular social networking sites, if you’re not signed up for the site, you cannot run searches or browse members.
