The Company has a growing test portfolio providing companion diagnostics and high technology assays for the growing integration of personalised medicine into healthcare. These services and products are currently in infectious diseases, oncology and pharmacogenetics areas with emerging interests in cardiovascular and metabolic disease.
Lab21's clinical reference laboratory and corporate office is based in Cambridge, UK and the Company's investors include Merlin Biosciences and Kreos Capital
How Much They Got From VCs:
Lab21, a specialist diagnostic services and products healthcare company is pleased to announce that it has closed a £2.2m round of financing from leading international private equity investors. The new funds will be used to progress its acquisition plan and to establish its US operations in South Carolina to expand its presence in the North American market.
Graham Mullis, CEO of Lab21 commented: “Given the very difficult financial markets of the past 6 months, I am delighted to welcome two new investors to Lab21 which is a significant endorsement to the growth strategy of Lab21. With new capital, we anticipate closing a number of company acquisitions. This investment will also allow Lab21 to commence its expansion plans overseas where we believe our brand and strong focus on quality and service will be well received”.
Nexus Medical Partners, based in Boston and South Carolina, USA and Rowan Dartington of the UK join Merlin Biosciences and Kreos capital as shareholders. Maddy Kennedy, CFO Lab21 explained: “I am pleased to be working with investors who understand healthcare markets and diagnostics specifically. Merlin Biosciences, now part of the Excalibur Group have continued to support Lab21 and advised the Company with this finance round. We are also delighted that Dr Ed Snape, who is co-founder and head of the healthcare practice at Nexus Medical Partners has agreed to join the Board of Lab21”
Dr Snape commented: “I am pleased to accept the Board position at Lab21 and support the establishment of its South Carolina operations to facilitate its entry into the US market. The diagnostic market is changing rapidly and Lab21 is well placed with its management and product portfolio to be a serious consolidator in the sector. Lab21’s business model which combines the technology and distribution capabilities of both a service provider and product developer makes for an exciting investment opportunity.”
Jonathan Beatson-Hird, Managing Director of Rowan Dartington and also fund manager for the Isambard Fund, said: “Our strategy has been to build our investment portfolio around three sectors, one of which is the In vitro diagnostics market. This is a dynamic industry displaying strong defensive characteristics. We are delighted to be able to invest in Lab 21 which is a core holding for us. We believe that the current economic environment is ideal for the corporate strategy of consolidation and with their state of the art products and services makes the company well positioned for growth in these uncertain times.”
The Company will not reveal details of its acquisition plans and US market strategy today but expects to complete on two European company acquisitions during H1 next year.

BaiscState---Site Monitoring Service
What Company Is Offering:
The free uptime monitoring service monitors http and https services. You can have alerts sent to any email address. Just set up an additional alert recipient using the email address provided by your cell phone or pager service provider. To find out if free email access to your sms phone or pager is available, check with your service provider. You can also check this list of carrier free email to sms address formats If this facility is not available through your carrier, receiving sms alerts will require arranging sms credits with us.
There is no software to install and it makes no difference if you are running Apache, IIS, Sun or Zeus. All of the software runs on our servers. All a subscriber needs is a web browser to access the control panel and a way of receiving email or sms alerts.
Individual sites are tested at 15 minute intervals. Public interest e-commerce sites are tested at 5 minute intervals. If a failure is detected, the monitoring frequency is set to every minute until the failure is resolved.
Internal monitors can give you very fine grained detail of the inner workings of your servers and internal network. The problem is that it can mask network problems outside of the local network. Internal monitors are also usually unable to send alerts if the the monitoring server or internal network fails.
The goal of public facing web sites is to make sure that the site is available at all times to external users. External monitoring is best suited to ensuring that this goal is met because it uses external access routes just like external users and are independent of the facilities being measured.
Furthermore, as an independent data source, it is useful in discussing service difficulties with network and hosting providers.

They then select partnered retail outlets that they wish their music to be available through (e.g. Napster, Snocap, Samsung Mobile) and within moments their songs are earning money as part of a world wide, web wide, distribution network. Its rates for providing a distribution service are currently the best in the market, and its ever expanding catalogue gives us increasing muscle with which to negotiate deals from which everyone, artists, clients and distribution partners included will all benefit.

Referral Key ---Exchange Business Referral
What Company Is Offering:
Referral Key is an on-line referral management system. It supports your referral marketing activities in one place, with minimal effort and maximum results.
How It Works:
An associates must first "accept" your invitation before you can send them a referral lead. You can determine the status of an invitation by selecting "My Referral Associates". Under each associates name it will indicate their status. If the status is "invited", the associate has not yet accepted your invitation. If the status is "declined" the associate has declined your offer to exchange referrals.
Associates receive a personalized email invitation from you asking them if they would like to accept your invitation to exchange referrals with you. Since many of the people you send invitations to know and trust you, there is a strong likelihood they will accept your invitations. The invitation sends a clear message that you are serious about exchanging referrals with your associate, and that help strengthen and solidify your bond with them. Once a referral associate accepts your invitation to exchange referrals, they are walked through a brief overview and are able to exchange referrals with you in just minutes. When the opportunity arises to refer business, the user simply logs on, includes a brief note about the referral, provides the referrals contact information, and Referral Key takes care of the rest by emailing the contact information of the person being referred and logging the referral in both the sender's and recipient's account. The result is a web-enabled closed loop where you now have a timely, qualified lead from a trusted associate and a much higher probability of converting these leads into actual revenue. Every step, from initiating a referral to following up is automatically tracked with its service.

Find Internet TV is a one-stop-shop for live content
What Company Is Offering:
Find Internet TV is a growing one-stop-shop for locating sites broadcasting video online by providing a feature-rich directory and program Listings for live content. Unlike other sites that search and show video clips on their site, Find Internet TV finds, categorizes, tags, and lists sites that show live and on-demand video. One may be able to find a 2 minute clip of Desperate Housewives or a NFL highlight on a video aggregating website, but they won't know where to watch it live or in full length and miss out on the special features broadcasting sites provide.
The Find Internet TV directory includes sites broadcasting from all over the world, in different languages, and in different time zones. Sites listed in our directory range from large media networks such as ESPN, Discovery, NBC to user-generated video blogs such as Lost in Baghdad, HotRoast, and Wallstrip to niche sites such as CurlTV, VeggieVision, and DrinksTV.
Sites are categorized by country, category, stream type and language. Users can select from these to browse through the index or search by keywords, last added, highest rated, or most viewed.
How It Works:
Users can save their sites to a favorites list, see what other members are watching, rate and comment on sites. Find Internet TV's program Listings and calendar of live events keeps users informed of what's showing online such as concerts and sports tournaments. Users have the ability to jump hour-by-hour through the grid or to specific dates and times. To provide the best end-user experience, the site automatically adjusts all program runtimes to match the viewer's time zone.
Content providers will benefit from the directory and program Listings through increased visibility of their programming. Users that click to view the programming are sent directly to the content provider's Web site and, in many cases, to the video landing page. Content providers who offer live programming can easily maintain their listing by authorized representatives via a backend application.

Global Domain Industry Is Expected To Increase To $5.3 billion by 2011
MAP Research's results show that by the end of 2008, the overall industry will have a market value of $3.6 billion (all figures in $US), forecast to increase to $5.3 billion by 2011.
According to the report, whilst the overall market size of the global domain industry is expected to increase over the next three years, growth will be at a slower rate than previous years and a drop in average revenue per domain is forecast.
And although growth in global top-level domains (ie .com and .net) will slow, growth in country code top-level domains (ie .au and .uk) is expected to increase in developing countries such as Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC nations).
The research also predicts trends in the domain industry such as consolidation to gain market share; a growing emphasis on bundling services; growth in demand for 'domain parking'; growth of mobile internet and .mobi; and a new internet provider platform, IPv6, dramatically increasing the number of available domain names.
``Domain registrars are now becoming 'one-stop-shop' service providers, offering their customers variety of services such as domain registration, domain management, web hosting and domain resale,'' said Marco Marcou, MAP Research Director.
``With the contractions of the top-level market, many of the global domain registrars are diversifying their revenue base by providing a number of related value added services to the provision of domain registration,'' he added.
``These additional services are increasingly being bundled with domain registration and include web hosting, domain parking, pay-per-click advertising and selling domain portfolios,'' said Marcou.

Action Method Online is a radically different approach to productivity, designed to simplify project management and life
What Company Is Offering:
Action Method Online is a radically different approach to productivity, designed to simplify project management and life.
All of life can be divided into "projects" - the categories we use in our minds to separate and make sense of what we need to accomplish (e.g. "the party I'm planning," "client X," "event Y," "finances"). The Action Method helps you manage your projects starting with the most basic elements - always with an emphasis on action.
Unique Features:
Action Steps
Action Steps are tasks that need to be completed. Each Action Step should start with a verb: "Call Y," "Follow up with X," "Buy a gift for Z."
References
References are notes, links, files, sketches - any information related to a project that gives context to your Action Steps.
Backburners
Backburners are the brilliant ideas that you want to come back to later, but are not yet actionable.
Discussions
Discussions enable you to manage ongoing conversations across all of your projects with anyone that works with you. All relevant communications (shared documents, solutions to problems, feedback, decisions) are in one place.
Events
Events are the key occasions/meetings/milestones/etc toward which you (and your team) are working. Events can be used to coordinate deadlines for Action Steps.

Run Country As Running Corporate Business..
Let us run it like a big corporate business with all ministries as departments and citizens as its customers. Yes, the citizens would be customers to this business, they would be consumers of goods, products and services offered by this corporate and they will pay us in form of tax.
As a CEO of this corporate, I would treat each task a project and the ministers would be appointed as project managers, it will project manager’s duty to come up with deliverables, schedule and cost this project. I must add here for all projects there must be a stakeholder who are subject matter experts and are chosen from normal citizens. The project manager has to run the project within given resources, which he agreed upon in the beginning and deliver it within schedule with exact deliverables. If any of the said criterions does not match the project is a failure and so is the project manager.
Just like a corporate has different departments, security, maintenance, finance, research and development, marketing, HR, etc, I would have all of them and they all work in tandem with a common goal, goal of making this business no 1. All of us working for this business has to remember that we here because of our customers, the citizens of this country.
Also I would make sure that my customers also respect their rights and they behave within prescribed limits as guarded by our constitution. I would grade my customers on basis of their performance and ethical behavior, if they behave good, they will get good and vice versa, which is more important. If my customers are unhappy about the road conditions then they have to follow traffic rules before they complain.

Geocubes---Advance Map Search
What Company Is Offering:
geocubes displays your data on the map either as one marker per data point or a square with a number representing the number of points in that square. To achieve this, geocubes displays an overlay over the Google Map you integrated into the page. Like the underlying map, the geocubes overlay is requested by the client through a JavaScript command.
How It Works:
To display a geocubes map, the client fetches the original map from Google and the geocubes overlay from the geocubes servers. This happens in parallel so there is no speed loss. The geocubes overlay is then displayed on top of the Google map with functionality provided by the Google API.
For each movement in the map - zoom or scroll - both map and geocubes overlay are fetched again. So the whole process runs perfectly in combination with Google Maps - and it is just as easy to integrate!
All data in the geocubes overlay come from the geocubes servers. When called by a client, the servers deliver the correct overlay for the visible map on that client. Advanced caching algorithms ensure that this happens within a tiny fraction of a second.
Since geocubes provides all the computing power, your infrastructure needs no changes. The only requirement is to make sure all your data points are stored on the geocubes servers. To make this as easy as possible for you, we provide a well-documented API for you.

How To Engage Customer
Customer Engagement is built on simple human behaviour. It seems illogical that so many companies claim to have captured it in complex systems. Agreed, human behaviour does have its complex side ' often it shows it ' but at the level that counts it is simple. The preferred form of complex system that has been widely sold, only to disappoint, is CRM.
If ever there were a misnomer it is "Customer Relationship Management
System". As my colleague David Butler, a true doyen of the IT industry, has pointed out CRM is simply customer record management. Like all record management tools
it cannot aspire to be predictive in a meaningful way. If you plan on the basis of CRM you are in real danger of steering the ship while looking backwards at the wake.
If that were all it would be unfortunate that so many have invested so much with so little return. Sadly that is not all. Many of the vendors that tempt firms into investment in systems solutions go one huge step too far. They are actually saying to you "You are not up to running your business effectively in today's environment. Hand it over to us and we will run it for you - at a cost", (normally a huge cost). But Customer Engagement is a very human interaction. To pretend that a technological system can replace humanity is frankly ludicrous.
A conversation and more
Current marketing philosophy is at last becoming enlightened. It holds that marketing can no longer be a one-way street. It is a human conversation between real people in which desires, needs and feelings - particularly feelings - can be fully expressed and satisfied. Customer Engagement is the culmination of that conversation when customer and supplier have developed a "Customer Relationship" in which each is totally committed to the other's success and prosperity. It used to be said that "Unless everybody in a business is marketing that business, nobody is". The need for building conversations grows and with it the matching need for everybody in the business to seek to take forward that conversation at every opportunity grows with it. Sensitivity and involvement are essential.
So is leadership. If the top management in your business do not engage in these conversations that are vital to building relationships then how can they expect a computer system to do it?
Attract and retain
Businesses and governments across the globe are recognising the simple fact that there are not enough really talented people in the world to meet the growing needs of business. Intelligent governments and businesses are working together creatively to attract and retain the best of the best people. Help is at hand as much evidence shows that the environment that you build to foster top quality Customer Engagement is also the low cost way to attract and retain the very talent you need to provide it.
Having attracted the best of the best, howeverBusiness Management Articles, a need emerges that goes beyond avoiding hassle. Talented people need opportunities to use their talents. You must also provide the talented leadership that sets the example for them to follow. Can a system hope to provide it? Customer Engagement can.

If ever there were a misnomer it is "Customer Relationship Management
System". As my colleague David Butler, a true doyen of the IT industry, has pointed out CRM is simply customer record management. Like all record management tools
it cannot aspire to be predictive in a meaningful way. If you plan on the basis of CRM you are in real danger of steering the ship while looking backwards at the wake.
If that were all it would be unfortunate that so many have invested so much with so little return. Sadly that is not all. Many of the vendors that tempt firms into investment in systems solutions go one huge step too far. They are actually saying to you "You are not up to running your business effectively in today's environment. Hand it over to us and we will run it for you - at a cost", (normally a huge cost).

askmarkets is a web service for prediction markets
What Company Is Offering:
askmarkets is a web service for prediction markets, which in turn allow you to thrive on the knowledge of the many. Believe it or not, the combined knowledge of people who know a lot about something, people who know a bit about something and people who just want to guess, often provides a more accurate forecast than any expert or group of experts can give.
Prediction markets are mechanisms which tap into the wisdom of crowds and by using the knowledge of you and me, they arrive at predictions which prove to be more correct, more accurate or more reliable than these of the latest forecast or the experts or the Delphi oracle.
How It Works:
Prediction markets work like a stock exchange where instead of company stocks, people trade opinions, your knowledge on a particular question or your personal estimate of how something might work out. The same way the market mechanism of supply and demand determines the value of a particular stock and its market price then also reflects the sum of all the traders' knowledge and information, the judgement of the people participating in a particular prediction market influences the possible answer to the question at hand.
For example, someone might want to know the outcome of the next presidential elections. There are two people up for the job. People who subscribe to this prediction market can now trade stock A "Candidate X is going to be the next president" or stock B "Candidate Y is going to be the next president". And by simply letting people make their educated (or not) guess, share information they might have, or use their knowledge or opinion about what other people might think, the sum of all this wisdom is translated into an accurate prediction about the outcome of the next presidential elections.

People who subscribe to this prediction market can now trade stock A "Candidate X is going to be the next president" or stock B "Candidate Y is going to be the next president". And by simply letting people make their educated (or not) guess, share information they might have, or use their knowledge or opinion about what other people might think, the sum of all this wisdom is translated into an accurate prediction about the outcome of the next presidential elections.

Google's Plan for Mobile Domination
Google is gaining market share throughout the mobile industry -- regardless of your carrier or how basic your phone may be -- with a set of innovative services that such companies as Yahoo and Microsoft are struggling to match. Let's say you don't want to pay the extra $15 a month that Verizon charges for unlimited mobile-Web access, or you have a spotty connection. Google lets you perform searches using SMS, which is very reliable. Stock quotes, flight info, sports scores? A simple query, such as the weather example above, will get you these data nuggets. "SMS allows you to get a lot of the most common structured forms of information out of Google," says Sumit Agarwal, lead product manager for Google Mobile.
In January, California will join the states that have made it illegal to text while driving. Google's voice-powered service, GOOG-411, is great for hands-free access to local information. Call 800-GOOG-411 and the system prompts you to tell it where you are and what you want. You can even have it send directions via a text message.
Google's GrandCentral service gives you one master phone number to hand out and then lets you manage your communications in a variety of cool ways. You can route a caller to a specific phone or flag someone with priority status so you receive their calls anywhere; pick up while the caller is still leaving a message; and manage your voice mail, including receiving notifications via email or text and having them transcribed so they can be saved forever.
Fire up an iPhone and Google's mobile ambitions become quite apparent. The company wants to offer an irresistible mobile-intelligent version of the desktop Google experience. Google's iPhone search option is front and center. Start to enter a word and you begin getting results before you're even done typing -- a huge time-saver. You can also drill down into a rich suite of Google services: Translate, Talk, and YouTube, to name a few.
Luckily, you don't need the coolest and latest device to use a bunch of services. Maps, Mail, Calendar, and Reader work in some form on a large number of handsets, but they can do so much more on a smartphone. With Maps, I love that you can get turn-by-turn driving directions and traffic info without having to enter where you are, because Google can figure it out even without GPS, by triangulating your position using Wi-Fi and cell towers.
So why would Google create its own phone platform? To take these services even further. For instance, the G1 includes a compass. Point in any direction to see maps of those streets. Android is also a lab to explore what the world looks like when all these apps will work together. Theoretically, Google will be able to analyze traffic, see you're running 10 minutes late to an appointment, and prompt you to send a message to the person you're meeting. "As you bring these different pieces together, the experience changes dramatically and usage skyrockets," Agarwal says.
He's not kidding. Google reports that users do 50 times more data queries with a smartphone than a basic one. Just type 466-453 and join the ranks of data-driven mobile Google addicts.

Post282 is a place where you can create and run your own private community websites
What Company Is Offering:
Post282 is a place where you can create and run your own private community websites for chatting with friends, sharing images and movies, posting links to cool stuff you find on the web, and a whole bunch of other stuff! Creating your community is free and takes about 15 seconds!
How It Works:
Post282 lets you upload your own images and place them in your posts. However, we currently don't permit uploading of videos to the site (assuming your community is hosted on Post282.com, rather than a customized installation). This is simply in order to reduce the amount of bandwidth they use each month.
However, you can upload your videos to other sites and then link to them in your posts. Modern video hosting sites (YouTube, Google Video, MetaCafe, and so on) let you upload your videos, and then embed them into your own website using embed code.
To add videos to your posts, simply copy the embed code from the site where the video is hosted, and paste it into the 'Add Video' box on the Create Post page.
To make it even easier, for YouTube, Google Video, MetaCafe, or iFilm videos, you can just copy the link to the page the video is on (copy from the address bar at the top of your browser), and paste it into the 'Add Video' box on the Create Post page.
There are two ways to add images to your posts:
First, you can copy a link to the image into the 'Image' box on the Create Post page, and then press the 'Add Image' button. The image should then appear in the textarea below. To get a link to an image you see on the web, either right-click on it and select 'Copy Shortcut' (IE Users), or right-click on it and select 'Copy Image Location' (Firefox users). You can then paste the copied link into the Image box. However, the practice of hot-linking to images on other people's websites is not encouraged. This is because you will be using their bandwidth to display images on your community website.
The second approach is preferable. First, save the image you want to post onto your computer. Then, on the Create Post page click on the 'Browse' button, find the image you want to upload, and click 'OK'. Then click on the 'Begin Upload' button. A copy of your image will then be transferred to the Post282 servers, and once the upload has completed, a link to the image will appear in the 'Image' box. Select whether you want the image to be Small, Medium, or Large in your post (you can resize the image anyway, once you've added it to the post), and click on the 'Add Image' button.

The lean Club Cooee 3D messenger client simply turns the depiction of avatars, rooms and items into a user-friendly interface in Windows Vista Widget style. But this unique technology also depicts 3D in Windows XP without any problems.
The users can network online and interact with each other in situations they created themselves. They can chat, watch movies and pictures, listen to music, play together and much more. Their own creativity is top priority.
Constantly updated avatars, furniture items and other articles of daily use make it easy for the users to present themselves and play to the gallery.
The users create their world to their own taste and liking and thus become directors of settings and scenes without restrictions.
