What Company Is Offering:
Wise Mapping is the web mind mapping tool that leverages the power of Mind Maps mixing new technologies like vectorial languages and the power of the whole Web 2.0 concept.
How It Works:
A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea. It is used to generate, visualize, structure and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, and decision making.
It is an image-centered diagram that represents semantic or other connections between portions of information. By presenting these connections in a radial, non-linear graphical manner, it encourages a brainstorming approach to any given organizational task, eliminating the hurdle of initially establishing an intrinsically appropriate or relevant conceptual framework to work within.
A mind map is similar to a semantic network or cognitive map but there are no formal restrictions on the kinds of links used.
The elements are arranged intuitively according to the importance of the concepts and they are organized into groupings, branches, or areas. The uniform graphic formulation of the semantic structure of information on the method of gathering knowledge, may aid recall of existing memories.
How is It Useful For Us:
Users will be able to create and read their mind maps from everywhere whenever it's needed. Once you have your mind map created the features that distinguish WiseMapping appears: Embed it in your own web page, blog or post, "Wise it" linking documents to it, "Share it" to anyone in the world.

Today's Dreamers Are Tommorrow's Entrepreneurs
Barclays Local Business research reveals untapped potential of today’s workforce. Workers caught staring into space at their desk or ‘away with the fairies’ during business meetings are a mass of untapped, entrepreneurial talent, according to research from Barclays Local Business.
The latest survey by Barclays Local Business reveals how employees showing signs of distraction are likely to get out and start their own business, as nearly half of today’s UK business bosses (44 per cent) admit to having plotted their entrepreneurial future whilst daydreaming in the work place of a previous employer.
Although an increasing number of bosses are paranoid about employees wasting time at work on social networking sites like Facebook, it appears they cannot stop employees from dreaming of a more productive and satisfying future in their working life.
John Davis, marketing director for Barclays Local Business said: “This survey highlights what many bosses have probably suspected for a long time – that for some employees, their current job is the last thing on their mind when they are at work. However, whilst they may be wasting their employer’s time they are not necessarily being idle; as they are planning for their own future. For budding entrepreneurs, the routine of their day-job can spark dreams of going onto bigger and better things.”
These dreamers turned entrepreneurs clearly know the value of downtime with only eight per cent interrupting their holidays to come up with a killer small business idea. Similarly, just six per cent were prepared to think about being their own boss in between pints down the pub. It’s also no surprise then that the survey also reveals that almost 40 per cent of UK business bosses view plain old common sense as the winning ingredient for ongoing success.
Davis added: “For employers there is nothing more frustrating than letting untapped talent slip through the net as staff showing entrepreneurial signs provide huge benefits and help small, medium or larger companies grow. Perhaps it will serve as a warning to any boss that they shouldn’t take their eye off the ball when it comes to keeping their staff interested and engaged and developing their people.”
The survey also uncovers the concerns keeping aspiring entrepreneurs awake at night; just under 40 per cent admit to feeling nervous about giving up the financial stability of a full time job, while nearly one in five (19 per cent) worry about getting into debt. Added pressure on their home life was also a worry for six per cent.

BuzzLogic
What Company is Offering:
BuzzLogic’s mission is to unlock the power of influence with applications that help players across the social media ecosystem—businesses, online publishers and the individuals creating influential content themselves—reap the rewards.
How It Works:
The new ad targeting lets advertisers isolate blogs and social media conversations that are going on around specific conversations about products, brands and issues. This offers a way of presented targeted ads towards the audiences and users involved in these online conversations.
This works in a similar manner to a key word search which scans participating sites for the online discussions going on around various topics. A few options for ad placement with this new tool from BuzzLogic include text or display ads from the BuzzLogic dashboard, and ads can be customized for campaigns.
This provides an interesting intersection of ongoing, dynamic content being created by users and web publishers, and ads being created and offered in a similar dynamic manner. The process also lends itself a bit to market research, in some cases regarding both consumer perceptions and public opinion.
Who Is Backing This Company:
Rob Crumpler, President and Chief Executive Officer
1.Rob Crumpler joined BuzzLogic as President and CEO in October 2005, bringing with him more than 20 years of experience with fast growth technology companies, including Microsoft and Intuit. While at Microsoft, Crumpler played a key role in defining the advertising technologies and business models that drove the revenue growth of MSN.
2.Todd Parsons, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer
A co-founder of BuzzLogic, Todd Parsons is responsible for the strategic planning and delivery of BuzzLogic’s software products and services. Prior to founding BuzzLogic, Parsons led development of the Knowledge Bank and Online Business Services for Silicon Valley Bank, where he managed development of productivity and business intelligence products for the bank and venture capital community.

Innovate Like Edison
Edison is probably one of the most referenced inventors ever. Not to undermine his great achievements in the act of creation (1% imagination and 99% perspiration as the saying goes), he also did a remarkable job in developing and marketing products for which were innovative That legacy has manifested itself into one of the greatest companies of the world, GE.
A new book by Michael J. Gelb and Sarah Miller Caldicott, Innovate Like Edison, boils down Edison's process to five key steps. Below is an excerpt from the book where the authors " give you a taste of his approach, using the example of Edison's first product, the stock ticker. His system is culled from historical documents and written as Edison might have noted them.
1. Identify trends in the marketplace, observing where and how needs are shifting. In 1868, I read in the newspapers that the rebuilding of the American South after the Civil War has sent commodities prices rising, since demand for lumber, brick, stone, and other building materials has increased and supplies are strained. The reporting of these prices - as well as the price of gold and precious metals - is eagerly sought by American businesses at an increasing rate.
2. Determine if there are any gaps created by these changing needs. I've noted that few efficient machines and few services exist to rapidly - and reliably - report commodities prices, precious-metals prices, and stock prices to businesses around the country.
3. Identify the core insight (the "aha!") or need at the heart of each gap. I think I can apply the principles of -telegraphy to make a machine that reports prices.
4. Link your insights to your capabilities as a company and your strengths and weaknesses in relation to your competitors. I can combine my talents for telegraph equipment assembly and design to develop price--reporting machines that operate rapidly and efficiently.
5. The hypothesis is an "if-then" proposal for a practical experiment about the goal you'd like to fulfill based on the linkage you've created. If I can build an efficient, reliable telegraph-like machine that can help businesses report commodities and metals prices all over the country, then I will make a significant profit.
The result? Edison's stock-reporting machine launched his career as a successful inventor and innovator. "

Set-Up is Easy - You define choices such as ad format and placement. Once users click on AdSonar ads on your site, you start earning money. (AdSonar Supports dynamic and password protected sites *)
Improve Ad Relevancy - Only advertisers in your category can appear on your site.
Gain More Control - You can generate reports at the URL, domain and ad level to see where your ad revenues are originating.
Increase Your Profits - You define your own default ads and even serve ads from your own listings to stop unprofitable "filler ads.
