What Company Is Offering:
TextAway.com launched with the goal of offering internet users a free and innovative method to keep in touch. The website allows its users to send free text messages to a single person or multiple individuals with U.S. mobile phones. TextAway.com is gaining popularity with thousands of loyal users and delivering many thousands of text messages each month from all over the world.
How Is It Different:
This innovative website is different than many competitor websites that offer web-based texting because it facilitates a real-time exchange of text messages and many cool features. Users can preference the manner in which they receive text message replies from friends and family (email, mobile phone, or the TextAway inbox). When the user's friend receives the text message on their mobile phone, they can reply and that message is routed back through the channel the user selected (email, mobile phone, or the TextAway Inbox). The dialogue can then continue in real-time between the TextAway user and the mobile recipients. TextAway.com also allows users to easily store and organize their mobile contacts into categories and use them to send messages quickly. The website also offers the ability to send text message invitations (similar to the email invitations offered by Evite.com), which allow the recipient to RSVP for an event directly from their cell phone.

RecruiTT - --Unique Concept Of Online Recruitment
What Company Is Offering:
Recruitt enables employers to interview prospective candidates online. Jobs are posted with online interviews set by the employer. Candidates can apply by completing the interview. Traditionally, recruitment agencies provide the gateway between candidates and employers, sifting CVs to find candidates to present to the employer for consideration. Recruitt replaces that need by providing a service which allows candidates to stand out from the crowd by presenting themselves directly to employers via the online interview.
How It Works:
With Recruitt, you have the opportunity to shine in front of a prospective employer by completing an online interview set directly by the employer. Avoiding the middle man (recruitment agencies) saves time and effort and gives you the opportunity to get your CV in front of the real decision makers – the employers.
When the employer set the question, they also set the answers that their ideal candidate would reply with and gives each question points (‘Other’ type questions are not scored but may further help employers filter
candidates.) If your answer meets their requirements, you are allocated the points and at the end of the interview, your points are totalled. Any candidates achieving the minimum pass score set by the employer will have their CV sent to the employer directly.
This will mean that you will only be put forward for jobs that you are more likely to be recruited for, saving effort, time and money.

Streem is microblogging tool
What Company Says:
Streem, it's a serious attempt to help define the next iteration of weblogging and social media, or to be the Apple to Facebook's Microsoft, or something.
What are the ideas behind making it:
In a social network, producing content should be an active process and assembling an audience should be effortless. Instead of monitoring my behavior and relaying it to people I tell you I trust, let me share what I choose to and you can show it to whoever's interested. More eyeballs, less paranoia.
Pull the blogger down from the stage and into the crowd. When you flatten the relationship between posts and comments, commenters become publishers in their own right, and content becomes less lonely.
Many of the tools they're using to put stuff online are out of sync with the shrinking timescale of real-world activity. Slice content into tiny pieces and you remove the psychological barriers to producing it. This is obvious by now.
They're not so different: when everyone's posts are made of the same molecules, they can merge and separate in useful and exciting ways.
Design isn't everything, but it's pretty close.

Comedy.com is a...wait for it...comedy entertainment site (are your minds sufficiently blown?) that combines user generated content and original, exclusive content from some of the funniest peeps in the business (literally, they're comics made of marshmallow, gelatin and carnauba wax).
How It Works:
They want to be your resource and portal for anything funny on the Web. If it's funny, it's here! And the best of the best will be featured on their LOL List™ so check back hourly for your Daily Dose™ of laughter. If you're funny, then share it with other funny people by creating a Comedy.com profile and show us your bits.
Who Is Behind Them:
Dean Valentine -- Former President of Disney Television and United Paramount Network, Valentine launched some of the most successful television comedies of the 1990's. Dean enjoys burnt pretzels and Mexican Coca-Cola.
Scott Immergut -- A former Vice-President of production at the Walt Disney Company, Scott has produced over a dozen movies and TV shows. Scott was Senior Vice-President of Content at Digital Entertainment Network and he brings deep experience in creating broadband video content. He is shy around clowns and thinks Fantasy Football is the bomb.
Darla Brown -- Darla led the portal department at the Digital Entertainment Network back in the day. Since then, she has led several software and web development teams and/or acted as consultant to such companies as Henson Interactive, Excite@home, E*TRADE, and Vulcan's Storyopolis. Founder of shareyoga.com, she also holds yoga classes in our bathroom and does her part by driving a Prius.
Matt Komen -- Matt produced the HBO Comedy Festivals in Aspen and Las Vegas and was also the Talent Booker for the Hollywood Improv where he enjoyed drinking and eating for free 4 nights a week. He also functioned as brand manager for the Improv Comedy Clubs, working with Diet Coke, Sierra Mista and Yahoo! When not heading up funny content at Comedy.com, Matt likes to shop at the Big and Tall section of Gap Kids.
