What Company Is Offering:
FirstLook is that kind of company. Instead of digging tools, it sells detailed reports to new-energy entrepreneurs. Those reports show just how much wind or sunshine an area is likely to receive, based on years’ worth of meteorological data.
How It Works:
The company advertises its reports via a free interactive map, which uses Google Maps. Preliminary information from the map helps entrepreneurs determine whether a windmill or solar-panel installation at a chosen location would make good financial sense. Registered users simply log in and click a location on the interactive map. Immediately, they receive a brief run-down on the area’s potential. Wind reports, for example, show the area’s average wind speed at different heights, which correspond to the possible heights of a windmill tower. Solar maps give the average daily illumination the same spot receives at differing angles. That information on sunlight angles is critical, unless the project employs solar panels that track the sun’s movement across the sky.
Websites run by the Department of Energy and other government and environmental organizations already provide similar information, though maybe with a less easy-to-use interface. But energy entrepreneurs will need something far more detailed if they hope to convince bankers or investors to fund their projects. A simple mouse click takes them to FirstLook’s reports page, where they can buy a detailed report USD 1,000 and up.

About Company:

Content relevancy is not a problem that can be solved by algorithm alone. Too often searches get clogged up with spam sites or sites of low relevance. The broader the search, the less relevant the results. To achieve the best possible results from a given search, you need the human factor to augment any computer algorithm.

IPLAdda.com H2H Fantasy Cricket League is the first ever head to head fantasy game in Cricket
What Company Is Offering:
An H2H (head-to-head) league is one where a player plays a 'match' against an opposing player in the same league. A series of such matches are played with other opposing players in the user's league for the entire duration of the competition/tournament.
How Is It Different:
IPLAdda.com H2H Fantasy Cricket League is the first ever head to head fantasy game in Cricket. In most other cricket fantasy games, you either just collect statistics for the duration of the tournament and all the other opponents in your league do the same. The team with the best statistics for the duration of the entire tournament is the winner. There is no concept of playing a match against any opponent. Furthermore, there are certain other fantasy cricket games where you are playing against yourself, such that your batsmen should score more runs than the number of runs your bowlers give away. This is also an interesting concept, but you end up playing against yourself (batsmen v bowlers), and there is no concept of playing against any other player playing the fantasy game. In a H2H league, for a specific time period within the tournament, you will play against an opponent in your league, and you should try to obtain a better statistics in terms of runs, wickets, boundaries, catches etc, which calls into picture an all-round measure of your team's capability.
