Negotiatr is a place where anyone can submit a reasonable suggestion for what they think the price of a product or service should

What Company Is Offering:
Negotiatr is a place where anyone can submit a reasonable suggestion for what they think the price of a product or service should be, and why they think it should be that way. Everyone else can then vote for the suggestion if they agree with it. Users can also tell others in the comments section of a suggestion if the price that was suggested is, in fact, available somewhere in order to help them find the deal they want.

The big idea here is for all consumers to have a place to voice their opinions on what they believe a fair price for a product or service would be. With any luck, manufacturers and retailers will see these suggestions and use them as feedback for future MSRPs of products and services that they offer.

GreenNote is to help students obtain loans for education via social networking

What Company Is Offering:
GreenNote is an innovative new company that has been created to help students obtain loans for education via social networking rather than through traditional lending methods.


How It Works:

Using the GreenNote online platform, students connect with their social network—friends, family, friends of family, community leaders and others—to ask for small student loans. GreenNote helps formalize everything into legally binding loans and handles all the details from loan documentation through repayment.

The benefits are significant. Students gain access to low-cost loans, currently at 6.8% compared to private lending alternatives that typically range from 8.5% to 20%. The lenders, individuals in the social network, also earn a return on their money while helping a student get an education.

GreenNote generates revenue by collecting a one-time documentation fee from the students and a small management fee from the lenders.

GuidedMed is a guided health and medical information search engine

What Company Is Offering:
GuidedMed is a guided health and medical information search engine. It is not a medical diagnosis or decision making tool. Its goal is to make health and medical information easily accessible to facilitate people's daily lives.

How It Works:

Initially, you are shown a short symptom list containing commonly encountered symptoms. If you cannot find your symptom on the list, you can click the "more symptoms" link according to your affected body region to see a more comprehensive symptom list.

From the symptom list, you select one or more symptoms describing your health situation. Then by clicking the button entitled "Next step to find information about selected symptoms," you will reach zero or more pages asking questions related to your selected symptoms.

After answering all questions posed by our system, you will reach a page listing possible causes of your selected symptoms. All of these causes are ranked by a medical expert system using medical textbook sources and publicly available information. For each such cause, its link takes you to a Web page describing it. Moreover, if you click the corresponding "More pages" button, you can reach additional Web pages describing the cause.

At any time, if you have made incorrect selections, do not know which symptoms to select, or cannot answer a question, you can click the red "guided help" link located near the bottom left of the page to invoke our help function. You will be prompted to describe your health situation. Then by clicking the "Find relevance of unselected symptoms and alternate responses" button, you will see two lists containing our help information, one for relevance of unselected symptoms and the other for relevance of alternate responses (to your selections). The contents of these lists are ranked by our system using medical information retrieval techniques.
