What Company Is Offering:
ConcertAttack.com is a place to share videos, pictures and reviews of live music events and concerts. It's also a great place to make new friends based off your musical tastes.
ConcertAttack.com is the number one online community for sharing your concert reviews, pictures and videos. Think Myspace/FaceBook meets YouTube, flickr and Fandango.com but, focused solely on concerts.
How It Works:
They are a Concert Experience Archive and Concert News Outlet. That means they organize your concert reviews, tour journals, pictures and videos by artist and concert date which, makes them easy to find and makes them part of history. When you post your concert pictures of your favorite artists just in your Myspace profile or Facebook, that makes it hard for other fans to find them and comment on them. On those kinds of sites it is difficult to share pictures and reviews of the concert you went to with fellow fans outside your network because they won't be able to find or access them. Post your concert content here and you won't have to search thousands of web pages and social network profiles to find out about what's going on at your favorite artists' concerts and you will be able to easily share your concert stuff with fellow fans.

ELASTRA Is to provide companies building applications a way to radically innovate the way they develop their products
What Company Is Offering:
ELASTRA’s mission is to provide companies building applications a way to radically innovate the way they develop their products and deliver them on IT infrastructure.
How It Works:
Their customers shorten their application life-cycles, and bring better products to market more quickly and efficiently, while gaining better utilization of both infrastructure software and hardware. They enable their customers to do this by significantly simplifying and automating how they architect, deploy, manage and pay for their database and application infrastructure.
Their customers unlock the value of cloud computing by using virtualized hardware environments with cloud-provisioned database and infrastructure software that are easily configurable and do not require scripting, respond elastically to changing load and are delivered in the cloud with meter-based pricing. We believe wherever possible in leveraging industry-standard software and open software languages that our customers already know how to use and providing them with the flexibility of leveraging the cloud provider of their choice, be it public or their own private clouds or both.
Ultimately, the end result is to make application operations as easy as uploading applications and instantly turning them on — while simplifying the complex process of architecting, scaling and managing the underlying infrastructure software and eliminating the capital-intensive investments dictated by traditional software and hardware pricing models.

buzvia ----To track clicks from both incoming and outgoing links, giving you credit in the process
What Company Is Offering:
The buzvia system was developed to track clicks from both incoming and outgoing links, giving you credit in the process.
buzvia is a system that is created and programmed by i3DS International Corporation, a company that has been in business for well over a decade offering a host of customized services from 3D animation to dynamic programming.
How Is It Different:
All links within buzvia DO NOT have a “no-follow” as you are not paying for the links, this will help increase your Google PR and spread the word about your site to others. The more you use buzvia, the more links coming from your website will appear in the statistics of other sites, promoting your potential business even more. For example, if you are a corporation that sells tires and you create a buzvia link to five manufacturers, they will see that they got direct traffic from your site from the first click on.
Statistics get updated every half-hour and are based on a per month basis. Their buzboat, which searches for claimed domains, goes out every two hours and sends back an e-mail to those who have successfully claimed a domain. The members only area has a pulldown to allow you to see stats on a per month and year basis, meaning if you joined this month, it's quite possible you already have data from the previous months.

Sermo enables you to exchange medical knowledge with your colleagues instantaneously
What Company is Offering:
Sermo enables you to exchange medical knowledge with your colleagues instantaneously, and even send postings to colleagues who are not members of the community.
Once you are part of the Sermo community, you are free to discuss any topic relevant to the medical community, ask questions, monitor physicians observations, comment on postings, use keywords to search for information, search for postings within your specialty, submit an image to the community, bookmark and track your favorite postings, tell others how relevant you think a posting really is.
How It Works:
Sermo's clients will use data collected from the Sermo system to help forecast potential problems or new uses for commercially significant medical products and therapies, gain early insight into outbreaks and other changes in disease states and conditions that can affect the public health, perform epidemiologic research investigations, survey the opinion of practicing physicians on topics related to medical care, assess the success and adoption of best practice recommendations, look for opportunities to improve medical practice, and protect and promote patient safety and the public health.
Sermo doesn't presume the relative value of any piece of information. They leave it up to their clients to perceive that value and assign a dollar value on any piece of information that reflects their interest in a particular topic. Clients use it to further their goals and get information, the same way physicians use it to get their questions answered. By maintaining system availability to all different parties it creates a more diverse community. So all kinds of different ideas are afforded potential value as opposed to being given a pre-assigned market value. It is truly grassroots.

Evolvist is the online resource for smarter, more sustainable living
What Company Is Offering:
Evolvist is the online resource for smarter, more sustainable living. So many of us want to do the right thing, but simply don’t know where to begin. Evolvist makes it simple to find the best businesses and worthy organizations committed to shaping a more environmentally and socially responsible society. Evolvist operates as an interactive and dynamic directory, helping you find and share businesses and organizations—from delis to dry cleaners, from financial advisors to farmers markets, from spas to solar-installers—who commit to sustainability and social responsibility.
How It Works:
Find local resources. Search existing listings using keywords, names, and terms, or browse local listings by categories. You'll get relevant results of all the businesses and organizations fitting your search or browse parameters.
Get specific. Drill down into your results by location, or filter further by a set of relevant “eco-labels,” each representative of a biz' s specific sustainable offerings.
Geo-locate. Maps will show you right where everything is, so that you can find what's most convenient.
Learn more. Click on a listing to learn all about the biz in question, and find out exactly what they do, what products or services they offer, and read what others have to say about them.
Share. Send listings to friends and family who you think would want to know about them.
Rinse, repeat. Browse or search anew from any results or listing page from the convenient navigation banner up top.
