Filtrbox searches thousands of online news sources
What Company Is Offering:
Filtrbox searches thousands of online news sources— from the New York Times to the Pitkin County Tribune—along with the entire blogosphere for new content. . They constantly add new sources, and you can also add your own via RSS.
Filtrs are essentially search terms or phrases, similar in function to a search text box. Filtrs become much more than simple search terms as you add additional terms to refine the results or add context. Filtrs also learn over time and calculate your feedback on sources to help FiltrRank deliver incredibly accurate scoring, customized to you.
How It Works:
Filtrbox is based on intelligent persistent search technology. This means the system searches, and re-searches its sources around the clock looking for new articles that contain the search terms you have entered. What we do once we find a potential new article is the "intelligent" bit.
Filtrbox enables the generation of custom RSS feeds, and what makes this special is the granular control over what gets included in the feed. FiltrFeed is our name for these user specific, custom RSS feeds. With FiltrFeeds you can control a number of important elements of the feed such as Filtrs, date range, minimum score, and total articles to be included. This control becomes very valuable when you integrate a feed into a reader or turn it into a widget and display the articles on a website, dashboard, or blog.

TOXSEEK, the meta-search and clustering engine for Environmental Health and Toxicology
What Company Is Offering:
TOXSEEK, the meta-search and clustering engine for Environmental Health and Toxicology. This valuable tool is a powerful and well-organized way to search through an array of government and other authoritative databases for any health and toxicological information you may need.
How It Works:
The search box is where you input your search. Type in the box and click "Search." This instructs TOXSEEK to search in the sources that you have checked in the checklist. TOXSEEK does not particularly support Boolean search operators, so terms such as "and", "or", and "not" will be considered as actual search words, and sent to the sources without any changes. However it means because almost all of the searchable sources support Boolean words you can use those words in your search. TOXSEEK does, however, accept quotation marks as an indication of word grouping.
The checklist contains a list of sources with links to their respective websites and a checkbox that can be enabled or disabled. To instruct TOXSEEK to search in a particular source, check the corresponding box. If you would like to view a brief description of the source, mouse over the source acronym.
The "Search" button initiates a new search (on the previously searched sources), "New Search" goes to the target selection page and clears the search box, "Modify Search" do the same without clearing the search box. "Clear" will simply clear the search box.

ZoomGet filters millions of products using trusted reviews to just the top products
What Company Is Offering:
ZoomGet filters millions of products using trusted reviews to just the top products - the books, movies, electronics, computers, home items, and stuff consumers are really happy about. ZoomGet helps you save time, avoid stress, and discover great products.
How It Works:
When a product has lots of consumer/user reviews, and lots of positive reviews, it's probably good — people only write reviews when they're really impressed (or really irritated and venting). Thus, ZoomGet sorts and filters through millions of products on Amazon.com to find those with the magic combination of both numerous reviews, and positive reviews. It considers the credibility of each review, and then uses and shows only the most trustworthy reviews to rank and rate products.
By the way, Amazon.com, the largest online retailer on Earth, handles all aspects of your order — they're the world-class experts on ecommerce. ZoomGet steers you to what's worthwhile, but doesn't store sensitive data like credit card numbers.

Dayak, the Recruiting Marketplace that connects employers with a network of professional recruiters
What Company Is Offering:
Employers create a detailed job profile that gives recruiters the information they need to quickly identify the right candidate for the position. Once posted, employer jobs are only visible to a network of professional recruiters (not job seekers).Posting jobs is absolutely free and employers pick their own fee for a successful hire.
Recruiters have access to the entire jobs database so they can search and identify the jobs in their areas of expertise. Once appropriate jobs are identified, recruiters get to work on screening qualified applicants who meet the employer's needs.
How It Works:
Once a recruiter identifies a highly qualified applicant, they will submit the candidate to the employer via the Dayak marketplace. Dayak gives employers an applicant tracking tool that makes easy work of managing candidate submissions. Additionally, employers are notified of new candidate submissions via email.
After reviewing the candidate submissions, employers are free to pick the most promising candidates to interview. With the click of a button, an interview can be requested and then quickly arranged. Employers can interview candidates directly, or use the full-service support of recruiters to help manage the interview process.
When a candidate is hired, Dayak sends an invoice to the employer on the candidate's start date. The employer pays Dayak, and Dayak holds the funds in escrow until expiration of the 60-day guarantee period. Once the guarantee has expired, the recruiter is paid the commission published on the job posting.

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.
