Autoquake, a U.K.-based online retailer of used cars, has closed a Gbp6 million ($11.8 million) second round of venture capital funding
What Company Is Offering:
Autoquake offers you a better way to buy a used car. No stress, no hassle - just great service and low, low prices.
Because Autoquake is an online service, there are no showrooms to pay for, or salesman waiting to take their cut. That means our prices are rock-bottom. Expect to save 15%-20% over typical forecourt prices. There's no need to haggle, either - the price you see is the price you pay.
Low prices sometimes mean a no-frills approach to service. Not at Autoquake. Every car has gone through a comprehensive mechanical inspection before it appears online. You can take a test drive at our professional hand-over centre, buy on finance or arrange a warranty for added peace of mind, just as you would at an old-fashioned car dealer. If you want to speak to someone, our helpful staff are just a phone call away, six days a week.
How Much They Got From VCs:
Autoquake, a U.K.-based online retailer of used cars, has closed a Gbp6 million ($11.8 million) second round of venture capital funding led by Highland Capital Partners in conjunction with existing investor Accel Partners. The financing is in addition to the Gbp3 million invested by Accel Partners in the summer of 2006.

Every six hours the Sound Index crawls some of the biggest music sites on the internet - Bebo, MySpace, Last.FM, iTunes, Google and YouTube - to find out what people are writing about, listening to, watching, downloading and logging on to. It then counts and analyses this data to make an instant list of the most popular 1000 artists and tracks on the web. The more blog mentions, comments, plays, downloads and profile views an artist or track has, the higher up the Sound Index they are. So, the Sound Index is a music buzz index controlled entirely by the public.
How It Works:
All the demographic data they collect and use is entirely anonymous, so they can never attribute any age or location data to any specific person. So, if you are a user of any of these sites, you don't need to worry that the Sound Index has any information about you. However, if you are concerned, or want more details, please contact us at soundindex@bbc.co.uk.

The Sound Index is currently in a public service beta phase, with data sources being finalised. During this beta phase we shall also be implementing and tweaking the data currently in the Index, and investigating a weighting system, to allow the more active forms of interaction to contribute more heavily to the Index.

A metronome is a practice tool that produces a steady pulse (or beat) to help musicians play rhythms accurately
What Company Is Offering:
A metronome is a practice tool that produces a steady pulse (or beat) to help musicians play rhythms accurately. The pulses are measured in beats-per-minute (BPM). Most metronomes are capable of playing beats from 35 to 250 BPM. Common uses of the metronome are helping you to maintain an established tempo while practicing, and learning difficult passages.
How It Works:
The first step in metronome use is to understand time signatures. Time signatures are found at the beginning of a musical piece, after the clef and the key signature. Time signatures (also called meter signatures) consist of two numbers. The top number indicates the number of beats in a measure, while the bottom number corresponds to the value of the beat. Most often, you will see 2, 3, 4 or 6 beats per measure. Beats are commonly half notes (the bottom number of the meter signature is “2”), quarter notes (“4”) or dotted quarter notes (“8”).
