What Company Is Offering:
The jaanix web site combines an easy-to-use publishing tool with a personalized post aggregator .

How It Works:

The publishing tool lets you save anything you like to your blog. Such a post can be anything - a link, an image, a video, a full rich posting or something you found on the Internet. Others will see it on the radar and will be able to rank it or save it to their blog too.

The radar is powered by a recommendation algorithm that takes into account your personal context - your interests, your friends and your past rankings, both implicit (extracted from your history) and explicit. While only registered users can submit posts and comments, anyone can use the radar to see and tune their own aggregation of posts.

Once you have registered, you can post your own content. Or share anything you find on the Internet. You can also leave comments to other posts. And Jaanix will not automatically expire all your tunings and ratings after 2 weeks, as it does for unregistered users.

NComputing, the leading provider of desktop virtualization software and hardware got $28m in VCs funding

What Company Is Offering:
The company's patented technology drastically lowers desktop computing costs, improves manageability, and reduces both energy consumption and e-waste. NComputing has offices in Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, Korea, Poland, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States and distributes products to over 70 countries.

How It Works:
The NComputing solution is based on a simple fact: today's PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of applications only use a small fraction of the computer's capacity. NComputing's virtualization software and hardware tap this unused capacity so that it can be simultaneously shared by multiple users. The NComputing virtualization software is loaded onto a standard Windows or Linux PC. Each user's monitor, keyboard, and mouse connect to the shared PC through a small and highly reliable NComputing access device. The device itself has no CPU, memory, or moving parts so it is easy to deploy and maintain. Over 500,000 NComputing systems have been deployed by 15,000 organizations to slash their computing costs as much as 70% and electric consumption by 90%. NComputing has been deployed by schools, colleges, governments and businesses to bring computing access to its students and employees.

NComputing, the leading provider of desktop virtualization software and hardware, announced it has secured $28 million in a Series B round of financing.

Seekler makes it easy to find and create lists of the best stuff

What Company is Offering
Seekler makes it easy to find and create lists of the best stuff. That stuff might be songs, movies, comics, jokes, restaurants, or anything else you can think of.

These lists are great resources for discovering new stuff. For example, if you want to find a new video game, you can quickly scan the list of best games for your system. Only interested in sports games? With Seekler lists, you can easily narrow the list down to only the games you're interested in.


How It works:
You can start by browsing lists and looking for lists that interest you. Or, you can create your first list right away (you'll need to create an account or login first). Simply create a list and start adding items to it - your opinions will immediately be included in the community list!


Creating lists is really easy. It's a lot easier to rank your favorite movies than to write detailed reviews for each one. Anyone can make their voice heard on Seekler in just a few minutes.

Seekler users submit their opinions in the form of lists, similar to the popular "Top 10" or "Top 100" lists you may see on TV or in magazines - only they can be on any topic and can be as long as you want.

Seekler then collects all these lists and presents you with a single list that represents the opinion of the entire Seekler community.

How Is It Different:
Filtering allows you to narrow down a list to only see the items that are interesting to you.

You can filter a list on item names and tags. For instance, if you were browsing through the 'Movies' list, filtering by 'action' would show only those items that either had the word 'action' in their name or were tagged with the word 'action'. Filtering is case-insensitive, so filtering on 'Action' and 'action' will give the same results.
