What Company Is Offering:
Blueunplugged provides customers with best, cheap and most popular mobile phones which are demanded more by people and detailed information on the all phones that are available to them. Blueunplugged is a providing nationwide service that allows customers to find Cell Phones in their area at reasonable price, Next Day Delivery and affordable service easily. Blueunplugged.com is a member of the Bluetooth SIG.
How It Works:
When you are out of coverage area merely dial 112 and the mobile will search for any existing network. This number 112 can be dialed even while the keypad is locked. That's part of the GSM standard. GSM standards accept that code to remap to the local emergency number, be it 911, 111, 999, or in our case 000.
Disable your stolen phone by noting down 15 digit IMEI number previously. Press *#06# then a 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to every handset. Note it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your cell phone gets stolen then you can call your service provider and give them unique code and they will be able to block your handset. So even if the thief replace the SIM card your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use or sell it to others. If we all follow this then there would be no point in people stealing mobile-phones.
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home then, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Now hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and let the other person at your home press the unlock button on your spare keys, holding it near the phone on their end. Finally your car will be unlocked. Distance is does not matter here. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other “remote” for your car, you can unlock the doors.
Nokia Mobiles have hidden battery power which you can utilize in emergency. Suppose your cell battery is very low and you are expecting an important call even you don’t have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery which you can be activated by pressing the keys *3370#. Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when u charge your cell next time.

mymission2 is the world's first aspirational social network
What Company Is Offering:
mymission2 is the world's first aspirational network, where people help each other to achieve their goals in life ... whatever they may be.
It's about achieving something you couldn't otherwise achieve. And it is totally free.
You publish your own missions and agree to help other people with theirs. When a mission is published, they alert the people who are most likely to be able to help you.
People respond to your mission and, when you have achieved your goal, (or when you have had enough helpful responses) you close your mission.
How It Works:
mymission2 works on a "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" basis. There is a "social contract" which means that, if you want people to help you achieve your goals, then you have to be prepared to help them achieve theirs. This means you need to provide as much information about yourself as possible so that we can alert you about missions that you are likely to be able to help with.
When you create a mission, they do some automatic analysis and send alerts to other missioners asking them if they can help you. Their software prioritizes missioners according to their ability to help with each specific mission and they never alert more than 100 people about a new mission - they don't need to because they are the 100 people who are most likely to be able to help you!

Sazze is the latest Web 2.0 take on social product reviews
What Company Is Offering:
Sazze is the latest Web 2.0 take on social product reviews. Their goal is to provide users with reviews that are personalized and relevant to each and every user. How often have you read a review online that was written by someone completely biased toward a product because they simply aren't you? As a community, they can all band together to help close that gap between reader and reviewer by writing more insightful reviews based on personal experiences. The reviews you'll find here aren't written by some executive at the product's company headquarters. These are real reviews written by real people!
How it works:
Sazze works by combining consumer product reviews with a highly interactive social network that focuses on members building strong relationships and reputations with one another. Users gain higher status by having their reviews rated on quality by other users. Quality is based on the number of "helpful" votes that a certain user receives for all of his/her reviews. In addition, users can applaud each other's reviews, polls, and chat messages, which help to better define a user's credibility.

BookLamp.org is a system for matching readers to books through an analysis of writing styles
What Company Is Offering:
BookLamp.org is a system for matching readers to books through an analysis of writing styles, similar to the way that Pandora.com matches music lovers to new music. Do you like Stephen King’s It, but thought it was too long?
The technology behind BookLamp allows you to find books that are written with a similar tone, tense, perspective, action level, description level, and dialog level, while at the same time allowing you to specify details like... half the length. It’s impervious to outside influences - like advertising - that impact socially driven recommendation systems and isn’t reliant on a large user base to work.
How It Works:
BookLamp is a book recommendation system that uses the full text of a book to match it to other books based on scene-by-scene measurements of elements such as pacing, density, action, dialog, description, perspective, and genre, among others. In other words, BookLamp.org is a Pandora.com for books, based on an author's writing style. If you match against multiple books, the self-learning system adjusts your formulas to make the match specific to your tastes. As the system moves out of beta, it will also incorporate human feedback into the recommendation systems, blending the strengths of social networks with the strengths of computer analysis. Ultimately, they want users to be able to create and share their own formulas, creating a community of book lovers that have tools to discover and share books in a way never before possible.
Because the system matches books through objective data from the text itself instead of relying solely on social networks to generate recommendations, the recommendations are impervious to outside influences such as advertising or author marketing. It also allows you to match to a far greater detail than alternative systems. With BookLamp, you can request a book similar to Stephen King's The Stand, but half the length, first person, literary mainstream fiction, with slightly more dialog, less description, and a rising action level across the first 10 scenes. If that's what you're looking for.

Zipcars are as ubiquitous as ATMs. Z2B (business) and personal drivers alike are loving the freedom and cost savings a Zipcar brings to their life - many have even achieved transportation nirvana. That's why over 30% of our customers have either sold their car or have stopped their purchasing decision. The revolution is underway, at least in the minds of members who no longer give a second thought to how they will get where they need to go. With a Zipcard in your pocket, a car is only a wireless signal away. Viva la revolution!
How It Works:
Just apply online today. It only takes a few minutes.
Once you're approved, you get your very own Zipcard.
Reserve one of their hundreds of cars – for a couple hours or the entire day. Do it online or use a phone.
Walk to the car, then just hold your Zipcard to the windshield.
The doors will unlock, and it's all yours!
Drive away... and return to the same reserved parking spot at the end of your reservation. It's that simple. And remember, gas and insurance are included too.

MochiBot is a Flash traffic monitoring tool
What Company Is Offering:
MochiBot is a Flash traffic monitoring tool (similar to a hit counter) that tracks the performance of individual Flash content files (SWFs) no matter where they end up on the web. If your SWF is on 5 different servers, then MochiBot will count the number of views that SWF got for all 5 servers. It's perfect for tracking how viral your Flash content is.
MochiBot is made up of just four lines of ActionScript code that sit harmlessly in your Flash content. Wherever that SWF goes, MochiBot will follow. This method ensures accurate traffic data no matter what website your SWF ends up on. MochiBot.com knows about each view of your SWF, and makes it available as simple and easy to understand reports that show you just how popular your Flash content is.
How It Works:
You simply copy and paste a few lines of ActionScript from MochiBot.com into your Flash file (FLA), and publish the SWF. Every time your Flash content is played, MochiBot sends a signal to our servers indicating where it is and that it's being played. MochiBot is completely unobtrusive, and will work with any type of Flash content: games, animations, banner ads, videos, or anything you can think up! The best part of all is that it has no effect on your content whatsoever.
