VortexDNA has mapped the genome of human intention – the mind-DNA that predicts human characteristics
What Company Says:
With the recent publicity around online genetic testing services, especially 23andme, the question of whether or not our lives are predetermined is more important than ever. This information is intended to help you make an informed choice about the science you accept, the way you see the world, and ultimately what you believe about yourself.
VortexDNA has mapped the genome of human intention – the mind-DNA that predicts human characteristics. Advancing our understanding of how belief creates our world, the human intention genome opens up a new era of science and human empowerment.
How It Works:
The genome is easily created by downloading the mywebDNA Firefox extension. Coded as a seven digit number it reveals the true determinants of our lives – the beliefs, with the same helix/vortex structure as our physical DNA, that are the building blocks from which we create order and meaning.
MywebDNA:
When you download the mywebDNA plug-in for the Firefox™ browser, you'll be asked to complete a short, yet profound, survey to generate your numerical profile. This survey is entirely confidential and never shared with anyone other than at your request.
Once you've completed the survey, you can leave mywebDNA running invisibly in the background. Every time you run a Google search, mywebDNA will circle the two results most relevant to you, based on your numerical profile and the profile of the site.
But how does mywebDNA know the purpose and values of a website?
After all, it's not a person. How can a site even have purpose and values?
Let's say your numeric profile is 100,000. You visit a site. That site now has a profile of 100,000. Your friend, who has a profile of 70,000, visits the same site. The site's profile now becomes 85,000.
Now you run a Google search, and that site is one of the results. mywebDNA knows that you have an 85% relevance with the site—and if that is one of the two highest ratings in your search results, mywebDNA will circle it.

Internet Trends
Internet users are becoming more aware of their digital footprint; 47% have searched for information about themselves online, up from just 22% five years ago. However, few monitor their online presence with great regularity. Just 3% of self-searchers report that they make a regular habit of it and 74% have checked up on their digital footprints only once or twice.
Indeed, most internet users are not concerned about the amount of information available about them online, and most do not take steps to limit that information. Fully 60% of internet users say they are not worried about how much information is available about them online. Similarly, the majority of online adults (61%) do not feel compelled to limit the amount of information that can be found about them online.
In addition to providing national telephone survey data, this report includes quotes from online survey respondents as well as experts in the fields of privacy, online identity management and search.

Ribbit--An open marketplace for telephony innovation
What Company Is Offering:
Ribbit technology allows developers to not only create interesting new Flash phones and consumer facing applications, they can also create rich high-value enterprise applications, as demonstrated by the Ribbit integration into Salesforce.com.
Ribbit is the result of a group of Silicon Valley phone and Web veterans coming together, in a distinctly new way, to create a distinctly new company.
Ribbit is comprised of traditional telephony experts, "Voice 2.0" experts as well as various web development, social media and infrastructure experts.
At the core of Ribbit's technology is the Ribbit SmartSwitch™, a sophisticated multi-protocol soft-switch that bridges the worlds of traditional telephony with next generation networks and protocols.
How It Works:
The Ribbit model is built on Internet business principles, such as revenue-sharing between partners. When developers create useful applications on the Ribbit platform, they will be free to market them in accordance to their value in their market. Developers will pay Ribbit in accordance to the value we provide them and their users. Developers are exhibiting remarkable creativity and have created functionality that is already solving very real communication problems for end users - creating solutions that were literally never before feasible.
Ribbit is an open platform for telephony innovation. Unlike any other phone company, we are giving our developers unprecedented access to our technology, through the Ribbit API and allowing them to innovate at will. Our business is built more like a software company than a phone company. Rather than thinking we can do it all ourselves, we are counting on our developers to create the next generation communications solutions we have all been waiting for.
The result of this thinking is Ribbit - Silicon Valley's first Phone Company. Created to change the way we all think about communications. A company dedicated to advancing communications by empowering developers to rethink what's possible by giving them an open API to build the future we've all been waiting for.
An open platform for telephony innovation.
As Silicon Valley's first phone company, they will give developers the tools to let communication transcend carriers, networks, devices and technologies, and let it integrate into the way they actually live, work and play today.
The Opportunity
Ribbit fills a gap in the communication marketplace. To date, next generation solutions can be characterized as either being very expensive custom applications - starting at $250,000 and running into the millions - or relatively simple and limited "spot solutions" such as internet "click-to-call" deployments. The Ribbit solution satisfies the middle ground between these alternatives. Now developers can create high-value enterprise-class communication solutions with virtually no knowledge of telephony.

ScientificMatch.com--Science Of Love Or DNA Dating
What Company Is Offering:
Once you sign up at ScientificMatch, they send you the swabs and an email with your customer number. You write your customer number on your DNA envelope, and you put your loaded swabs inside it. After you drop it in the mail, your DNA results will be uploaded to their computers and you should be able to see your matches.
How It Works:
When you first sign up to join their service, they send you a DNA collection kit, the main component of which is just a couple of sterilized, sealed cotton swabs.
With these swabs, you simply rub the insides of you cheeks. It's quick, easy, and painless.
They also give a pre-addressed, pre-stamped envelope into which you deposit your loaded swabs.
Probably the most complicated part of the process is writing your customer number on the envelope. In order to protect your security and anominity, the laboratory that analyzes your DNA never knows who you are. The only way they can refer to you is with your customer number. Typically, nobody in their organization ever knows your name and your customer number at the same time. Only our computers ever link the two together. That's why you have to write your customer number on your DNA envelope. Their computers generate the relationship, and they send the customer number directly to you, in an email. You then write the customer number on the envelope. Theirr lab technicians upload your number and your DNA results together, when are computers then associate your DNA results with your dating profile. Your DNA is never posted in your profile--it's only used to generate your matches.
It can take up to two weeks for your DNA results to be generated by our laboratory, but in terms of your membership, that doesn't cost you any time. Your membership period only begins after your account has been fully activated, and uploading your DNA results is usually the final step in the activation process.

When you first sign up to join their service, they send you a DNA collection kit, the main component of which is just a couple of sterilized, sealed cotton swabs.
With these swabs, you simply rub the insides of you cheeks. It's quick, easy, and painless.
They also give a pre-addressed, pre-stamped envelope into which you deposit your loaded swabs.
Probably the most complicated part of the process is writing your customer number on the envelope. In order to protect your security and anominity, the laboratory that analyzes your DNA never knows who you are. The only way they can refer to you is with your customer number. Typically, nobody in their organization ever knows your name and your customer number at the same time. Only our computers ever link the two together. That's why you have to write your customer number on your DNA envelope. Their computers generate the relationship, and they send the customer number directly to you, in an email. You then write the customer number on the envelope. Theirr lab technicians upload your number and your DNA results together, when are computers then associate your DNA results with your dating profile. Your DNA is never posted in your profile--it's only used to generate your matches.
It can take up to two weeks for your DNA results to be generated by our laboratory, but in terms of your membership, that doesn't cost you any time. Your membership period only begins after your account has been fully activated, and uploading your DNA results is usually the final step in the activation process.

Speed Trap
What Company Is Offering:
Speed Trap, a mashup (Web application hybrid) that combines Microsoft Live Maps and the ability to pinpoint and review speed traps located anywhere on the planet. The information shared by its members is placed into a database and can be viewed by anyone.
How It Works:
The application combines Microsoft Live Maps with user-submitted data about where police speed traps are located, how often they are setup, and even what methods of detection are used to catch offending drivers.
Members can post detailed information such as the type of speed detection used, posted speed limit, and level of enforcement. Membership is totally free. Speeding tickets are not. Insurance price quotes for a car/auto after a ticket is even worse. Inform yourself and others. Future revisions of the site will allow for uploading to mobile GPS devices and GPS Enabled Phones.
