What Company Is Offering:
Glassdoor.com is a career and workplace community where anyone can find and anonymously share real-time reviews, ratings and salary details about specific jobs for specific employers — all for free. What sets us apart is that all their information comes from the people who know these companies best — employees. In the spirit of community, we ask our users to share with each other. That is, before you can access all of the information shared by others in the Glassdoor community, they first ask that you post an anonymous review or salary of your own.By working together to offer an inside look at companies, they can open access and bring greater transparency to information in one of the most important parts of their lives — their work.
How It Works:
It's a simple model – tell them what your work is really like, and get back exactly what you've put in from the rest of the Glassdoor community.
Give them less than 5 minutes of your time to write an employer review, post your salary, or both. Your posts are anonymous and your membership is free.
Post your anonymous review or salary info for the community to see. They will never expose any personally identifiable information to other users
Freely browse the reviews and salaries in the Glassdoor community, get involved in the discussion, and make smarter decisions about your job!

Linkua is a meeting point for people interested in teaching and learning languages
What Company Is Offering:
Linkua is a meeting point for people interested in teaching and learning languages. As a student you find language teachers from all around the world and learn from them from the comfort of your home. As a teacher you'll be able to connect with students and can teach them from home, with total flexibility.
How It Works:
When you are tutored by telephone you learn to hear voice. When you are taught face to face, about 30 percent of what you think you hear are the non-verbal gestures. People who are taught in person will finish a course of study, go to talk with someone on the phone, and freeze because they just lost 30 percent of their communications!
People who are taught on the telephone will do well on the telephone. They will also do great in person, because they get an additional 30 percent in the non-verbal gestures that they were not even accustomed to in normal learning process!
If you have a schedule that is variable, you can schedule learning on an "as you go" basis. You do not need to lock into the same times every week. You can schedule as you go and around the clock. You will always be sure to get a learning time that meets your needs.
You can go home from work, get relaxed and enjoy your learning from your favorite chair. It is a lot more fun taking learning in casual clothes than in dress clothes. If you have a cordless telephone, you can even do learning from your garden while you are enjoying the sunshine!

Healia is the premier consumer health search engine for finding high quality and personalized health information on the Web
What Company Is Offering:
Healia is the premier consumer health search engine for finding high quality and personalized health information on the Web. It serves as an independent, unbiased gateway to the highest quality health information resources.
How It Works:
Healia is optimized for health search by integrating cutting-edge technology including health "intelligence" to provide the best results for health queries.
Healia's innovative technology ensures the highest quality and personally relevant search results. In an independent, blinded trial at a major university, physicians rated Healia significantly higher than Google™ and another health search engine in the overall quality of health search results.
Healia's unique technology functions like a trusted health librarian who helps you wade through the maze of online health information to find the exact nugget of reliable information that you need. Healia helps you save time, avoid unreliable information, and become more knowledgeable about your health.
How is different from other search engines:
Healia's patent-pending technology consists of algorithms and methods for evaluating the quality of Web content, for categorizing Web pages and enabling personalized searching, for pushing targeted messages, and for seamlessly integrating search technology with any Web application. Healia is different than other search engines in the following ways:
Healia consistently provides high quality search results. They ensure that you get the highest quality results by using our patent-pending Quality Index Score™, which examines numerous characteristics of content that are related to the quality of health information. With Healia, you won't be inundated with unreliable search results like on other search engines.
Healia helps you find more personally relevant information. They employ advanced technology to analyze Web pages and categorize them according to specific target audiences, subtopics, and user preferences. With Healia's numerous "Personal Search" filters, you can easily identify the results that are most relevant to your individual needs and preferences.
Healia helps you search more effectively and more efficiently. They use advanced semantic technology (technology enables computers to "understand" what search terms mean and how they are related to other concepts) to guide your search. Using health vocabularies of hundreds of thousands of health-related concepts, similar, more general, and more specific search terms and concepts are presented when appropriate. Healia also includes a health-optimized spellchecker and provides expanded equivalents of common medical abbreviations and acronyms.
Healia is quick and easy to use. Because "one size does not fit all," they provide a choice of either a simpler interface without our filters or a standard interface with filtering options.
