Qassia is a credit-driven intelligence engine coupled to a cascading tag-based web directory

What Company Is Offering:
Qassia is a credit-driven intelligence engine coupled to a cascading tag-based web directory.

How It Works:

At Qassia, you can add your websites for free, and without having to add reciprocal backlinks. You'll get unlimited quality backlinks (as opposed to "no-follow" backlinks). You can also add intel. Short for "intelligence", intel is a tidbit of information. Qassia rewards users who add intel in three ways.The vast web of intel created at Qassia will produce more than a useful intelligence engine.

How Is It Different:

Qassia is fundamentally different from other sites like Wikipedia, Squidoo, because Qassia is not about asking people to upload authoritative articles. You don't need to be an egghead at Qassia. You could upload a lengthy academic treatise if you want, by all means, but you can also get away with contributing a hastily scribbled tidbit of information about a person, a company, a place, an event, a thing, or anything you know about.

A ficlet is a short story that enables you to collaborate with the world

What Company Is Offering:
A ficlet is a short story that enables you to collaborate with the world.

Once you’ve written and shared your ficlet, any other user can pick up the narrative thread by adding a prequel or sequel. In this manner, you may know where the story begins, but you’ll never guess where (or even if!) it ends.

How It Works:

ficlets are shorter than short stories. Well, no, actually, they are short stories, but they’re really short stories. Really short, as in there’s not a maximum word count … there’s actually a maximum character count (1,024). There is also a minimum character count, and the number of that beast is 64.

If you wish, they’ll provide you with inspiration (photos, themes, suggested beginnings and endings, even other ficlets), but you’re completely free to blaze your own trail. Now, here’s where the real fun comes in: Each and every ficlet is modular in that, though you may have written a stand-alone story with a beginning, middle, and ending, your fellow ficleteers may choose to write a prequel or sequel to your story. In this respect, you can think of ficlets as literary Legos.

All ficlets are covered under Creative Commons, which means that if you wrote it, you own it. Period.


How To Use It:
Go to the ficlets site, and click on the “Sign In” link in the upper right hand corner.

There are two ways to sign in. If you have an AIM or AOL screen name, you can simply sign in using your existing account. You don’t have to have an AIM or AOL screen name to participate though—you can sign in using an Open ID. If you don’t have an Open ID, you will have to create one to sign in initially. An Open ID will allow you to piggy-back your information from an identity provider. For example, if you have an AOL or AIM screen name, you’d enter http://openid.aol.com/YOURSCREENNAME (replace YOURSCREENAME with your actual screen name). ficlets would then redirect you to your provider so that you can define what information you want to carry over.

Taskado is a versatile online project management tool that focuses on tracking tasks

What Company Is Offering:
Taskado is to make all projects easy to manage, and make your life easier in the process - because life is a project. Their philosophy is simple: project management is not about control, it's about delegating and communicating. This is a straightforward, but powerful idea: a team manager is only as good as her or his ability to let others do their job; and a team is only as good as its ability to communicate.

Instead, email, blogs, news, Web conferencing and other tools we've all been using for years online are what make us productive. At Taskado, they saw a need to end project management pain and an opportunity to tie all of these tools together. We've made projects easy to create and fun to run.
How It Works:
Taskado is a versatile online project management tool that focuses on tracking tasks. In minutes, you can setup a project, invite other people and start assign tasks.
Taskado is free and requires no software installation.

The Project is the highest-level entity in Taskado. A project is started by a Taskado user who then invites other Taskado users to be part of the project. The project contains items and documents. Items can be of several types: Task, Milestone, Suggestion, etc.

Communication is key for the project to succeed: the Project News is a real-time bulletin board where users can post notices and be notified about pending work such new items assigned to them and completed items.

How To Use:
1. Register in Taskado.
2. Create a project.
3. Invite people.
4. Start creating tasks and assign people to them.

CellCoach --detects cell phone signals in a radius of approximately 5 feet from its mounting location

What Company is Offering:
The CellCoach detects signals from an active cell phone within your teen’s car and emits an annoying sound, alerting to voice calls & texting.

How It Works:

CellCoach detects cell phone signals in a radius of approximately 5 feet from its mounting location, eliminating the chance of a false signal from a different driver’s car. The alert is similar to safety alerts given to pilots of aircraft. The CellCoachTM alert is annoying, not distracting. Driver distraction is caused by the driver taking their eyes off of the road or thinking about things other than driving... major causes are cell phone calls and texting.

Just like the important safety alerts that pilots receive in an airplane’s cockpit, the alert that the CellCoach emits is a call-to-action, not a distraction. Safety alerts make the operator of any vehicle instantly pay attention to their behavior and the condition of the vehicle to make sure that everything is OK. The CellCoachTM will help to make your teenage driver more alert and mindful of driving without using their cell phone. Your teen driver will be more able to pilot their car safely through congested traffic in your neighborhood.

Your CellCoach cell phone deterrent includes E-Z install instructions, the CellCoachTM frequency detector and in-car alert, a set of keys for parental control, and a set of safety stickers designed to be placed on the driver’s window as a safety reminder.

The unit permanently installs easily under any vehicle’s dashboard. The alert is easily heard during noise created by traffic and stereo equipment, making cell phone use while driving an annoying experience.

The Future Group will pump in Rs300 crore in Future Ventures India

The Future Group will pump in Rs300 crore in Future Ventures India Ltd this year to facilitate acquisitions by the group.
“Future Ventures would act mainly as an investment company for group’s acquisitions. The group has decided to pump in Rs300 crore within 2008,” informed Pankaj Thapar, head, investments and acquisitions, Future Capital Holdings Ltd (FCHL).
Future Ventures India has Rs250-crore funds with it and fresh investment commitment would boost the group’s acquisition capability.
Thapar, however, said “investment by the group and the funds managed by us (FCHL) as advisers will not be clubbed.”
FCHL manages four onshore and offshore funds and the combined investable resources under these funds would be around $1 billion.
“There will be no conflict between our’s and the funds of the clients as investment advisory services. The offshore funds have restrictions and cannot invest in all sectors like retail. The group will look at those opportunities without hurting the interest of clients,” he added.
FCHL’s investments as an adviser have a long-term view of up to 10 years. “As our remuneration, we would get a management fee and we will be eligible for success fees if the funds make a profit,” FCHL chairman Kishore Biyani said.

Ript for “rip” images and text from the web and your computer as easily as you can rip ideas from your favorite magazines

What Company Is Offering:
Ript was born from the idea that there should be a way to “rip” images and text from the web and your computer as easily as you can rip ideas from your favorite magazines. The act of “ripping” in the virtual world should be just as simple and satisfying.

They are a team dedicated to building software for women that is both playful and purposeful. They built Ript for those in our lives who are the chief purchasing officers, archivists, planners, connectors and organizers of the family, but we think anyone will love it. We worked and, (sometimes), fought hard to give you an easy, yet flexible way to arrange and share what you ripped.

How It Works:
While you’re working, your pages are stored as Ript files, which means that you can only view them using Ript. When you use Save As, Ript changes them to the .jpeg format. Jpeg files are a standard type of image file that people can view using a variety of programs. Every computer can open a jpeg file, so you can be sure your friends and family will be able to enjoy your page.

You cannot edit a .jpeg file in Ript once you’ve created it, but you’ll still have the original Ript page to work with after you create the .jpeg.


There are two ways to share your pages. You can email your page or you can save the page as a .jpeg file. To email the page, click on Email in the menu to the right of the Table. To save the page as a .jpeg, click on Save As in the menu.

Aside from the people pictured here, who were intimately involved in creating Ript, they had an amazing amount of help from many other talented people, both inside and outside of Oxygen.
