Askmego is an online community in which participants ask and answer questions in real-time on a wide range of topics

What Company Is Offering:
Askmego is an online community in which participants ask and answer questions in real-time on a wide range of topics. Like any other community, we have a core set of principles that must be followed by all members. Violating the Community Guidelines may result in the termination of your Askmego account without warning. In extreme cases, violations may result in the termination of your Askmego ID.

How It Works:

Askmego is a place to gain knowledge, not customers, page views, or dates. If you have years of experience in something, have a special hobby or own your own business it's OK to discuss a good that's on topic with a link to your website, blog, or email to offer more information. However, it is not OK to send links that are unrelated to the topic or are clearly meant only to solicit others for personal and financial gain. Also prohibited are solicitations like "Will you add me as a contact?" or propositioning people.
Anyone can report abuse and the community depends on each member to help keep Askmego a safe, fun, and positive place for everyone.

Faviki is a social bookmarking tool which allows you to tag webpages you want to remember with Wikipedia terms

What Company Is Offering;
Faviki is a social bookmarking tool which allows you to tag webpages you want to remember with Wikipedia terms. This means that everybody uses the same names for tags from the world's largest collection of knowledge.Thanks to DBpedia, which extracts structured information from Wikipedia and represents it in a flexible data model, these tags are reference to objects which are categorized automatically, keeping your and your friend's bookmarks and interests well organized.

How Is It Different:

Unlike classic tags, which are just words, new tags represent references to unique concepts that have their own URL. For example, the tag “Coca-Cola” has a reference to URL http://dbpedia.org/data/Coca-Cola (actually, the name of the tag is just the last part of the URL).

So, instead of having different tags for the same concept, which is the case with classic tags (cocacola, coca-cola, coca+cola, CocaCola) there will be just the one unique “Coca-Cola” tag.

Land Surveyors United is the first social network in the world exclusively geared for land surveying professionals and the GPS, mapping and geomatics

What Company is Offering:

This group creates a virtual space for surveyors to post their technology related questions, experiences, tips, tricks and advise for the field.

How It Works:

Members are surveyors, of course, most of which spend the majority of their day in the woods or along the side of the road measuring and creating the landscapes of our cities and towns. As an online community comprised entirely of like minded individuals, LSU provides a place to find equipment, collaborate and troubleshoot problems in the field and find reference materials related to surveying. All content is subscription friendly and can be read via RSS feed reader. Small surveying firms can promote their business and jobs can be sought and found. This is truly the first community of its kind, ever!

Land surveyors have little time to spend in front of a computer searching for the answers, equipment, instructions and specifications that they need in order to work and stay ahead of competition. They also know a lot of tricks that can be used in the field that might help others. LSU creates a space exclusively for these professionals to share advise, video, reference material and photos with other surveyors. There is not another place on the web where surveyors will feel more at home.

Knewsroom is a community-directed news publication where not only do you have a voice—you get paid to use it

What Company Is Offering:
Knewsroom is a community-directed news publication where not only do you have a voice—you get paid to use it. “The Knews” gets published every morning, featuring the previous day’s top stories in Politics, Business, Technology, Design, Sports, and Entertainment. 20% of every dollar they generate in advertising gets split with the people who make the Knews happen: writers, readers, evangelists...anyone looking to turn extra brainwidth into extra cash.It’s fun, it’s free, and it’s easy to get started.

How It Works:
You can submit stories in response to topics suggested by the community, or follow your instincts and write about what you think is important. Content can be original (created by a Knewsie), or syndicated (linked from another news source) and may include articles, photos, and video. If the community thinks your content is Knewsworthy, not only does it stand a chance of getting published, but if it’s original content you could earn another $150 on top of your share of the day’s ad revenue.

The more involved you are in Knewsroom, the more power you’ll have to shape it. You accumulate watts—our official community currency—by being an active member of the community: suggesting topics, writing stories, voting, and referring other members. The idea is to invest your watts in what you think should tomorrow’s Knews should be. Just like on Wall Street, your return on investment is determined by the risk you take. You can invest in Topics—which are kind of like mutual funds (lower risk/lower return), or you can bet on Stories—which you can think of as individual stocks (higher risk/higher return). Of course, you can diversify and do both. Like everything else at Knewsroom,™ it’s entirely up to you.

Each day at deadline, Knewsroom fires up the press and runs a sophisticated matrix algorithm to determine the Top 5 Topics and the Top 5 Stories each section. If you happen to bet on a winner, not only will you get your share of all the watts that went invested into the winner, but you’ll get your cut of the ad revenue generated that day — that’s real cash money, credited to your own Knewsroom™ MasterCard.
