WhatsBuzzing
The site's mission is to offer a one-stop solution for consumers to browse across hundreds of retail storefronts, view the latest trends and find the hottest deals. The storefronts are fully interactive and are continuously updated with fresh content and timely offers. The goal of Whatsbuzzing is to become the first and only stop for consumers who want to shop online. For many, online shopping is about visiting information sites to research what to buy before going to comparison shopping sites to find the store offering the best price. However, there is no single place online where users can browse the fronts of the stores themselves to find out what is hot and what is cool! The equivalent of a shopping mall experience does not exist. Whatsbuzzing.com is the answer, where a consumer can check out the latest designer dress from their favorite store, find out about a cool accessory for their newest electronic gizmo and see where the best online sales are.

All Information Should be Visible And Trackable For All Employees,By Putting It All Online With LucidEra
LucidEra covers the most common and essential questions that you need to address to be successful. Because the data necessary to answer them is scattered throughout your company (e.g. in your company's CRM system, accounting system, spreadsheets, etc.), the process to collect the information is long and tedious without LucidEra. As a consumer, you have access to unprecedented information As an individual consumer, before you buy something, you use the web to research competitive options, prices, promotions, professional reviews, peer reviews, etc. You have all the information you need to make your purchase decision. But, as an employee you are faced with information barriers As an employee, you are faced with barriers that prevent you from making decisions quickly. It takes too long to find and combine the information you need. The data is scattered in many different applications, databases and spreadsheets. To gather it and combine it, you end up wasting precious time. The process is painful, tedious, and error prone. Instant visibility into the business data that you need to succeed eludes you. The infrastructure to get timely data to you is simply not there This situation is not sustainable. It needs to change. Like your consumer self, you should have the data you need to be successful. It should be considered an employee's right, not a privilege. No one should have to work in an environment where the information is not readily available. Armed with the right information, you can reach your full potential for success.
The idea is that all of this information should be visible and trackable for all employees, so by putting it all online with LucidEra, the entire company can be informed as to problems and successes in the business.

He Made Millions,Selling WhiteBoards To Hospitals
The doctors on NBC's "ER" series used a Magnatag on set to keep track of patients. This year, the New Orleans Saints mapped NFL draft picks on a Magnatag. A Colorado sheriff's posse swears by their Magnatag for plotting search-and-rescue mountain missions. "You can get to people faster," says volunteer Norvan Huff.
For 20 years, a little known company called Magnatag Visible Systems in Macedon, N.Y., has thrived making highly specialized versions of an item that couldn't be less special -- the erasable whiteboard. In the commoditized world of office products, this is no small feat. Basic, cheap whiteboards flood the shelves of office-supply stores. There are dozens of higher-end brands aimed at the professional market and classrooms. So universal is the whiteboard as a teaching tool, that UPS has made one the centerpiece of its current ad campaign "Whiteboard" to educate consumers about its services.
So how does a tiny manufacturing shop tucked away on the shores of the Erie Canal compete amid the fray? The answer: by taking the common out of the commodity. Instead of mass-producing generic boards, Magnatag goes the opposite route, selling whiteboard systems tailored for hundreds of applications, from athletic scheduling and church groups, to hospitals and mortgage brokers. Instead of a plain, white surface, Magnatag boards are printed with customized grids and graphics and come with equally specific supplies such as magnets, lettering, symbols and card holders.
A manufacturing plant seeking to reduce on-the-job injuries might post a "SafetyCross Safety Motivational System," which uses a variety of green, yellow and red magnets in the shape of a cross to highlight "accident-free" days. A sales operation with a large fleet of cars could opt for the "Vehicle Service Monitor" with specific columns dedicated to inspection needs. There are boards for advertising agencies and music instructors. The White House Communications Agency this month purchased a 4'x8' MagnaStaffer organizational chart.
A Magnatag whiteboard had a recurring role in early episodes of NBC's 'ER.'
So specific are Magnatag's applications that the company's 75-year-old founder, Wally Krapf, chafes at being dubbed a whiteboard maker. "Our boards are problem-solving devices -- they are aspirins for people's headaches," he says.
That medication doesn't come cheap. Individual boards range from $100 to about $1,500, while systems of multiple boards go for $10,000 and up. Due to volume of kits -- more than 2,300 -- Magnatag boards can't be found at retail; Mr. Krapf sells only via his own Web site and catalog. But turnaround time is quick: Boards typically ship within three business days, a byproduct of Mr. Krapf's meticulous inventory management. To date, he's sold more than half a million boards and says Magnatag's revenue is "in excess of $10 million and quite a bit above."
That's a small slice of the overall whiteboard market, estimated at roughly $2 billion in annual sales world-wide with about half coming from the U.S., according to one of the largest players, Acco Brands Corp. of Lincolnshire, Ill. Acco, which also owns well-known office supply brands such as Swingline and Day-Timer, markets its whiteboards under the Quartet name and sells to consumers and businesses mainly through big-box office-products chains such as Office Depot. "We're more mass scale than specialized niche product," says Acco spokesman Richard Nelson.
Other U.S. manufacturers have notable chunks of the business, though few if any produce the array of applications that Magnatag does. "We do some customization, but people still prefer plain in the marketplace," says John Rouse, senior vice president of Ghent Manufacturing Inc., a large whiteboard manufacturer in Lebanon, Ohio. Other producers, such as Marsh Industries Inc. in New Philadelphia, Ohio, focus on niches such as the educational market. Still, "to some extent, one board does look like another," says Bill Singhaus, Marsh's executive vice president of sales and marketing.
As such, Mr. Krapf has managed to carve out a respectable sweet spot with his buffet of systems. "When you take a generic tool, and turn it into something that is very specifically about the need for a customer, then they will take the time to seek you out," says Seth Godin, author of several best-selling marketing books including "Purple Cow" and most recently, "The Dip." "What most people do when they go into business is they try to fit in, and what he [Krapf] did was try to stand out."
Mr. Krapf started his informational display business in 1967 hawking a myriad of products, including traditional green chalkboards jury-rigged into displays with magnets and printed lines. He dabbled with whiteboards in the early 1970s, but it wasn't until the mid-1980s that he landed upon his cash cow magnetized product made of a porcelain-like coating he calls "MagnaLux" over steel. While his company, W.A. Krapf Inc. doing business as Magnatag, still sells a range of items including fabric boards and photo-posting panels, whiteboard systems are now his best seller.
To date, Magnatag has spent little on marketing other than mailing catalogs.

GoodStorm
Anyone can get in on the music business with GoodStorm's MixTape, a hot new widget that users can add to their personal websites, blogs or MySpace pages to promote independent music acts—and make a cut of the profit for selling downloads.
Music lovers who want to impress their friends by discovering cool new musical acts—and make a little pocket change in the process—can sign up for a free account. They can hand pick songs from GoodStorm's collection of more than 2.7 million indie tracks to create their MixTapes, or they can upload their own music, provided they hold the appropriate copyright. Each MixTape can contain up to 100 songs and can be posted on any web page, where visitors can listen to clips and purchase downloads via the widget for USD 99 cents, 65 cents of which goes to the artist and 5 cents to the seller—modest amounts that can add up quickly. For instance, a band would make USD 6.50 for an album of 10 songs, and the seller would make 50 cents just for recommending it on his or her blog or site. GoodStorm takes its own cut of 29 cents per download.
Essentially an affiliate sales program built around widget technology, MixTape offers a new way for artists to get noticed, and for fans to support independent musicians and become a force in the music industry. It's an innovative approach that's already creating quite a buzz—Amnesty International is using it to promote viral sales of their Instant Karma CD, which features re-recorded John Lennon tracks to raise money for aid to Darfur. Of course, the concept will only work if consumers are willing to buy digital music outside stores like iTunes. But we love the practice of giving customers a revenue cut for their marketing efforts.

MizPee
MizPee, which offers one very simple service: helping users find the nearest, cleanest restroom when they need one.
Customers simply go to www.mizpee.com from their web-enabled cellphone, type in their current location (city and street address) and click on find. MizPee comes back with a list of nearby facilities, including details such as distance, user rating and whether a purchase is required, if the toilet is located in a store or restaurant. The service is initially launching in San Francisco, and allows relief-seekers to narrow their search to facilities with handicap access or diaper-changing areas. Desperate but dainty users can even limit results to restrooms that have been awarded a five-star rating for cleanliness.
While it may seem frilly, MizPee is actually a smart mobile service, providing information that almost every consumer needs at one point or another while they’re on the go. It's infolust brought back to the basics. Time to brainstorm and find other essential information needs aren’t yet adequately fulfilled? Collect them, let users fill in the missing blanks, and serve up the info along with relevant marketing messages. MizPee is currently free for users, and sponsorship by a toilet paper brand or bathroom cleaning product seems like a logical next step. Related: Luxe London loos.

Konnects Is First Professional Networking Platform That Enables Any Person Or Organization In World To Earn Revenue By Creating Professional Profile
Companies get Paid to have their own Online Social Network Tacoma, WA, 06/26/07- Konnects.com has launched the first professional networking platform that enables any person or organization in the world to earn revenue by creating their own professional online social network on the Konnects platform. Konnects is a cross between Ning and Linkedin. Anyone can setup their own Konnects powered community in minutes and generate revenue through subscriptions as well as posting their own Google ads. Users have complete control over their online community with branding and communication tools as well as detailed analytical reports on community and user activity. “We are very excited about this launch. There isn’t a tool like Konnects in the market today and we feel there is a big need to give traditional organizations a place to stay connected online,” says Jim Crabbe, Konnects CEO. Prior to Konnects, organizations had to upload their member lists to other online professional networking sites, resulting in the organization giving up their membership base to an open ocean of online professionals. With Konnects, organizations can keep their membership connected and now have a way to generate additional revenue in the process. Organizations can even set whether their online community is open to the world or private to only their membership base. Konnects already has relationships with newspapers, chambers of commerce, special interest groups and non profits that have created communities on the Konnects platform. For additional information on Konnects, Inc., contact Jim Crabbe at 253-226-0691 or visit http://www.konnects.com. About Konnects Inc. - Konnects Inc. is an online business networking platform designed to give the power of online social networking to traditional businesses and professionals.

Make Money With ClixSense By Just Clicking On Ads
ClixSense is a program that pays you to click on ads and view an advertiser’s web page for about 30 seconds. While there’s no requirement you actually look at the page (you can open it and then work in another window while waiting for your account to be credited), the assumption is that you’ll see the page even if just for a few seconds when it first comes up.
The vast majority of the clicks are worth one or two cents. By paying a $10 annual fee, you’ll get access to higher paying clicks.
One tip when creating your profile in ClixSense. Check every box when they ask for your areas of interest. They’ll use those to determine which ads to show you. Since our focus isn’t on finding products, but on getting paid to click ads, having as many ads available as possible is the idea.
ClixSense also has a referral program, where you earn 10% of whatever your referrals earn.

Pollgenius.com Is More Useful Than Google And Yahoo
They want to help people quickly find accurate answers to their questions. One of the problems with search engines (ie. Google, Yahoo!, MSN) to date is that you have to browse through several websites to find your answer. For example, to answer a very simple question such as 'Does the iRobot Roomba really work?' a search engine would only produce a list of websites. A user would then have to manually sift through and aggregate the opinions from the websites to find the answer. Search engines also have difficulty providing a quick and comprehensive summary to a question like 'What is the best bargains website on the Internet?' Going through a search engine yields only bargain websites with no information on how good or bad they are. It is up to the user to visit each site and determine which is the best themselves. Additionally, search engine results can provide an incomplete analysis for certain types of questions. Each result only provides a limited perspective that may also be biased. If we use the first example 'Does the iRobot Roomba really work?', one of the top results from a search engine may be from iRobot.com, the maker of the product. Having only one review to reference from may paint an inaccurate portrait of the product. How can PollGenius.com help solve some of these problems? By using the power of polls, we gather opinions from multiple members to help answer questions. Because we accumulate answers from a large audience, the results provided give a broader perspective and a more accurate answer than search engines. A larger audience helps reduce statistical anomalies produced from biased users. Also, a user no longer has to dig through numerous search engine results because the poll results page provides a quick and aggregated snapshot of the answers. The poll results page achieves this by displaying an easy to read bar graph. In addition, the poll results page displays member comments that may provide supplemental information. We hope this site can solve some of these problems!

Bootstrapping Your Business: Start and Grow a Successful Company With Almost No Money
Rags-to-riches entrepreneurs don't usually brag about crashing on a friend's couch and eating cheap food. But John Vechey, 28, proudly recalls the early penny-pinching days of his Seattle gaming company, PopCap Games, which he co-founded with partners Brian Fiete, 29, and Jason Kapalka, 36, in 2000. After leaving their steady jobs at gaming companies, the trio pooled $100 to purchase business cards, used their own computers and convinced a friend who owned an ISP to give them server space for free. Working first from Fiete's condo, then from Vechey's apartment, they started with a simple business model--to make games and license them to websites.
In doing research for his book, Bootstrapping Your Business: Start and Grow a Successful Company With Almost No Money, Greg Gianforte found that less than 1 percent of startups raise money. A bootstrapper himself, Gianforte started RightNow Technologies in Bozeman, Montana, in 1997, went public in 2004 and had 2006 revenue of more than $110 million. He says having an open mind and experimenting are key. "Once you have scale and mass, you do things differently," Gianforte says. "In the early startup phase, you can throw things up against the wall and see what sticks."
That's what Amy James did. After selling her first company in 2000, the former teacher negotiated the right to retain a database of state learning standards that she had spent two years typing into a Microsoft Access file. In 2001, James decided to take advantage of that year's No Child Left Behind Act and put her database to work. "I made a flier saying I could align curriculum with learning standards and faxed it to publishers," she says. "Scholastic called immediately. Then LeapFrog. Then others."
For the cost of office supplies--about $100--James was in business, launching SixThings from her New York City apartment. She made $30,000 her first year, consulting with publishers, reviewing educational programs and curricula, and writing reports analyzing how these measured up to state and federal learning and testing requirements. James ramped up significantly in her second year, hiring two curriculum development employees and one computer programmer. In addition to analysis, the company now sells electronic databases of learning and testing requirements and licenses software that provides compliance reporting along state and federal guidelines.
But James was struggling to pay her rent and knew something had to give. Her mother was a retired teacher back in her hometown near Oklahoma City, and James could tap her mom's friends as workers. So she moved into the same apartment complex as her mother.
"It just made sense," says James, 40. "My mom's friends were starting to retire. My dad was a principal. They were all on state benefits and had a great work ethic." With her mother as her first Oklahoma employee and her father as a sounding board, she began to rebuild her business.
James used open source software and worked from home for the first three years of business, finally moving into a 6,000-square-foot Oklahoma City office space in 2004. She furnished that space, including the refrigerator, she says proudly, for a mere $1,900 by visiting vacated offices and offering cash for the abandoned furniture. She continues to pinch pennies, even after bringing in sales of more than $2.1 million last year. Of her 20 full-time and 43 part-time employees, the vast majority are her parents' retired friends. She has also re-established an office in New York City.
Think Big, Spend Small
Of course, one of the secrets to bootstrapping is choosing a business where you can do the work yourself. Ajay Goel, 29, was living with his parents in 2000 when he created the first version of JangoMail as a side project for a client who needed a web-based e-mail marketing solution. Because he had a computer and no overhead, Goel was able to fine-tune the product, then take it to market.
JangoMail, with its web-based e-mail broadcasting and marketing system that allows companies to create, send and track e-mail campaigns, projects sales of $5 million for 2007. While the four-person company works virtually, Goel invested in 900 square feet of office space in Dayton, Ohio, to give the company a home base and employees a place to work when they come to town.

Make $300 A day By Selling Witchcraft?
Giancarlo Capuccio makes three hundred dollars a day, selling his witchcraft course online. This partially free course teaches you to "How to Cast Devastatingly Effective Spells and Rituals With Extraordinary Power by the End of the Week... Even if you don't know the difference between Magic and Magick Yet..." (Are you scared yet?)
Why do people buy courses like that? Giancarlo is sure it's because because "magic works" (he was interested in magic and witchcraft since the age of 8 and has a rather busy 'magic practise' back in Vienna, Austria). But what's the real reason? Is it because we are superstitious? Or because we know that the world is set up not the way science wants us to believe it is?
Giancarlo Capuccio never though he'd be able to make money with witchcraft online, until he met Antoinette Shofranco, a well known Gypsy tarot guru at a conference.
Antoinette taught Giancarlo the basics of 'voodoo business online'. Rule number one is free content. People are all too skeptical and it makes no sense to ask people for money, before they trust you. Rule number two is testimonials. All testimonials have to be real and easily verifiable. And rule number three is upselling.
After a person signs up for a free course, a series of gentle pitches follows for a low cost product. Then other products are being pitched. Finally, a membership is sold (which is a recurring source of income and a holy grail of any online marketer).
The cost of acquiring customers is usually pretty high, so you have to be a darn good marketer to succeed in one of these niches.

This organization feature uses drag-n-drop functionality, and works for your user photo and your Favorites section that shows along the right side of your profile.

New Website Will Help Entreprenuers Realise Their Business Idea
Young British entrepreneurs are launching a new website to house spare business ideas that can be developed by anyone that finds them interesting. James Murray Wells, the twenty four-year-old multi-millionaire founder of www.glassesdirect.co.uk, and Oli Barrett, founder of new ideas company Connected Capital, are behind the venture. It will be launched this week and is called IdeaVolcano.com
More than 100 entrepreneurs and business advisers have already signed up to the site during its testing phase. Mr Murray Wells said all the entrepreneurs he encountered had more ideas than they could handle and the site would allow them to realise their potential. "There’s a lot of people with good ideas and lots of people that are looking for good ideas," he said. "That’s what we are hoping to do with Idea Volcano, putting these people together."
"In my experience, entrepreneurs have a lot of great ideas but they get retained internally," he added.
Mr Murray Wells said the non-profit making site would work as an internet blog. Entrepreneurs would post ideas and anyone reading the site would able to make a contribution to its development.
Mr Murray Wells and Mr Barrett are working with John Hornbaker, a computer software specialist, on the project. "Oli and I sat down and I said I’ve got all these ideas but I’ve got to focus on GlassesDirect at the moment. I have these ideas for a property business and for an online gambling business but don’t have the time to work them up.
"So we came up with the idea of a blog where people can send in their ideas, which will be put on the site and get worked up by people from around the world."
Mr Murray Wells said the ownership of the idea would be down to the people taking part in its development.
In large part, it will work on "trust", he said. "In our experience no one has got an idea off the ground without telling people about it ," he said.

In large part, it will work on "trust", he said. "In our experience no one has got an idea off the ground without telling people about it ," he said.

Should We Encourage Failure?
The National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN) is a network of academic institutions across India that develops and delivers skill-building programmes and networking activities, besides company-starting assistance, to new, high-growth entrepreneurs. A not-for-profit initiative of the Wadhwani Foundation, it was co-founded by premier academic institutions such as IIT-Bombay, IIM-Ahmedabad, BITS (Pilani), IBAB, Bangalore and SP Jain Institute, Mumbai.
In an exclusive interview to Business Line, Ms Parkin spoke on the activities of NEN and the need to foster the entrepreneurial spirit among students and what she brings to the table.
Excerpts from the interview:
Have you identified any sectors as high-growth? How have you gone about building an ecosystem of entrepreneurs? Do you have any programmes aimed at incubating
entrepreneurial ventures?
With overall nine per cent growth, many sectors are showing tremendous growth — including retail, hospitality, construction, IT and healthcare. All provide excellent opportunities for new entrepreneurs. However, when NEN works with young and future entrepreneurs, we don't point them to specific sectors. Instead, we help them build the skills to evaluate any opportunity, because by the time they may be ready to launch a company, the dynamics may have changed and these same sectors may not be attractive for newcomers.
A supportive ecosystem is extremely important for entrepreneurial success. There are three dimensions to an ecosystem: the people, the regulatory and legal environments and the infrastructure. NEN works along all three dimensions. Through our programmes for academic institutes, we connect young people from all backgrounds with entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and other professionals. NEN and the Wadhwani Foundation also work to support policy change and improve infrastructure. We recently launched Entrepreneurship Week India to raise awareness and support for improving the ecosystem for entrepreneurship, in which over 200 partners, both academic and corporate, participated.
Several of our member-institutes offer incubation support - some to their own communities and others offer help to anyone. They include SP Jain, IIT-Bombay, IIM-Ahmedabad, IIM-Bangalore, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology and IBAB.
How healthy is the entrepreneurial community in India? Does India need a unique model to foster entrepreneurship, or are there universal lessons applicable here too?
I find a particular dynamism and energy in the entrepreneurial community in India — a community that now includes young people from outside the traditional business communities. The level of venture capital pouring in from overseas is testimony to the fact that the world has recognised the opportunities in today's India.That said, India does throw up particular barriers for entrepreneurs, including poor infrastructure — a lack of power, roads, transport; an improving-but-still-difficult regulatory environment; and a bureaucracy that takes a particular toll on small, growing companies. These problems need to be addressed if broad-based entrepreneurship is to generate the millions of jobs that India needs every year.
NEN has discovered universal patterns that unleash entrepreneurship in young people. It is critical for young people to interact with entrepreneurs and investors. Academic institutes must offer comprehensive programmes, with innovative, exciting curricula and teaching methods. And on campus, faculty must support student leadership and entrepreneurship clubs running many activities. This combination shows powerful results and is an integral part of our strategy.
How important is the `fear of failure' factor in the growth of entrepreneurial spirit among youth? Is there a need for a culture that is tolerant of failure?
Societies must allow for failure, both socially and legally. Legally, one must enable business closures so that people can easily shift resources to more productive endeavours. And when failure becomes socially acceptable, innovation blossoms as people are willing to risk the unknown. Highly entrepreneurial cultures honour failure as a crucible for learning: in Silicon Valley, there's a belief that people are often more backable once they have failed.
However, that's not to say that even in Silicon Valley people feel comfortable failing. In fact, in one of the entrepreneurship courses taught at Stanford, the professor has her students put together "failure resumes" listing out the big failures in their professional and personal lives, and what they have learned from each. Through this exercise, the students can see that failure is an important stepping stone to success. In India, failure is not tolerated quite so well.

The Future Of Docement Recording"e- recording"
We are currently experiencing a trend that is shifting our world from a paper-based to an online system of commerce. With every passing year the internet becomes more deeply integrated into our daily lives. We pay our bills online, we rent movies online, even our biggest auction (eBay) is now an online service.
This impact that this trend has had on business is incalculable. In the past, countless hours were spent doing tasks that can now be accomplished with the click of a mouse button. One such service that has recently been optimized with internet compatibility is document recording.
Whenever a legal transaction takes place, proper county filing is required. When you sign a mortgage, deed, land record, property title, etc, the agent or company in charge of realizing that transaction must file the record at the County Recorder’s Office. Until recently, filing these documents meant driving to the county office or mailing them via postal services. But rather than driving and waiting in lines or hassling with postage, a new option is available. eRecording, a new internet solution, allows agents and companies to file these documents from any convenient location that has a scanner and internet access. With eRecording, one can submit files online to be reviewed and filed at the County Recording Office without leaving the office. The need for such costly expenditures as runners and postage is eliminated. Document recording, like many other services in this digital era, can now be done online.

Make Money Online With Diet Advice
A practical solution has been launched in Osaka, where a Tokyo medical equipment maker is working with public health officials to help consumers keep tabs on what they're digesting. How it works? Before lifting their chopsticks, users take a picture of their meal with their cellphone's camera. They send the picture to the system, and nutritionists analyse the meal and its nutritional value, following up with advice on necessary adjustments. Feedback follows within three days.
Users can also get more information online, and upload photos from digital cameras. The system is being trialled with 100 cardiac, diabetes and obesity patients, and is hoped to rein in growing health problems caused by growing waistlines in Japan, especially of men in their 20s and 30s.
A similar commercial service has been available in Canada and the US for a while. Canadian MyFoodPhone also gets users to send in pictures of what they're eating, creating a running nutrition diary. Once a week, a nutritionist advises the client on how they’re doing and what they need to improve.
Uploading to a diary is free, and weekly advice comes at a monthly cost of USD 9.99. While the Japanese system delivers feedback faster than MyFoodPhone, the killer app would be one that comes back with an instant response and tips. Which could be made possible using sophisticated image recognition software, or trained operators who are available 24/7. Given worldwide health issues related to obesity and the near ubiquity of cameraphones, this could be huge.

Bizztrip
Bizztrip aims to be a no-nonsense travel portal for entrepreneurs who book their own travel. Whether flying first class or low-cost, customers are offered an array of extra services, including visa handling and travel to the airport. Bizztrip is currently evaluating whether it will make motortaxi saviours one of its standard features. Seems like a smart move, though pricing would have to be fairly high to cover the cost of two drivers and the time they spend driving around seeking customers in need. While Virgin Airlines offer Virgin LimoBikes in the UK, and private motorcycle taxis cater to travellers in other countries, the option to be rescued from a car stuck in a traffic jam seems new. One for airlines or limo companies to set up in other countries? Could also be a great service for motorcycle brands to sponsor.

3LUXE.com is a free service that saves consumers time and frustration when researching products and services online. Instead of inundating consumers with too much information, 3LUXE whittles down the overwhelming amount of data available to identify the three best products (not necessarily the most popular) available in each category. In essence, 3LUXE does the research consumers would do if they had more time. These "Best Of" reviews cover a wide range of categories from appliances to airplanes, from sports products to spa resorts, and trucks to travel.
