Adimade is a video-sharing network focused solely on user created advertising competitions. In a time when consumers are avoiding ads in droves - adimade is offering consumers, businesses and charities a place to collaborate and create new ads, redefining how ads are made and distributed. Adimade users create Ads that are more than just a "sales pitch". Adimade users make ads that THEY WANT to watch.
Adimade runs ad creation projects on behalf of our project partners (businesses, charities and causes). Adimade project partners, like us, are sick and tired of having boring unentertaining ads, which is why they have teamed up with Adimade and the community of amateur video makers to try and do something a lot more creative and a little bit different.
How It Works:
They provide the amateur video creating community with the project guide, giving video creators the creative direction for their original, insightful and entertaining video ideas. Users create videos, then users share and vote for the best clips. The top 5 videos enter the final selection round and the project sponsor selects the winner. The winners get rewarded and the project partner gets an ad. It is that simple.

IPLAdda----H2H (head-to-head) league is one where a player plays a 'match' against an opposing player in the same league
What Company Is Offering:
An H2H (head-to-head) league is one where a player plays a 'match' against an opposing player in the same league. A series of such matches are played with other opposing players in the user's league for the entire duration of the competition/tournament.
How Is It Different:
IPLAdda.com H2H Fantasy Cricket League is the first ever head to head fantasy game in Cricket. In most other cricket fantasy games, you either just collect statistics for the duration of the tournament and all the other opponents in your league do the same. The team with the best statistics for the duration of the entire tournament is the winner. There is no concept of playing a match against any opponent. Furthermore, there are certain other fantasy cricket games where you are playing against yourself, such that your batsmen should score more runs than the number of runs your bowlers give away. This is also an interesting concept, but you end up playing against yourself (batsmen v bowlers), and there is no concept of playing against any other player playing the fantasy game. In a H2H league, for a specific time period within the tournament, you will play against an opponent in your league, and you should try to obtain a better statistics in terms of runs, wickets, boundaries, catches etc, which calls into picture an all-round measure of your team's capability.

Free Internet Advertising System Transforms Business Expense Into Additional Profit Center
In a joint statement issued by James Cobb, Stephanie Haile, and Don Hill - co-founders of World Wide Wealth Builders - details of this revolutionary free advertising system were made public today.
“This system enables any business – online or offline – of any type, to have their marketing message seen by real people,” said Cobb. “That’s the biggest problem most businesses have when it comes to internet advertising for their business – finding the most effective way to get their marketing message across to their market, and actually having it seen and acted on. Because of limited funds available for advertising, most businesses have been forced to depend on free advertising methods a great deal.”
“It’s absolutely brilliant,” added Haile. “It not only gets your advertising message in front of real people, but it’s done in a way that actually generates revenue for your business. And that revenue is totally independent of the profits from any additional sales that result from your advertising. The advertising process itself is now profitable, whether you make any additional sales in your business or not.”
Hill added, “In all my years of business experience I’ve never encountered anything like this. It literally transforms a necessary business expense into a very real and profitable additional revenue stream. This system is an unparalleled paradigm shift in not just the advertising world, but in the business world at large. I fully expect this to become the basic model for all business advertising in the foreseeable future. Free advertising is all well and good, but it’s usually not very effective or efficient. Advertising which not only pays for itself, but actually generates a substantial profit, has been totally unheard of – let alone possible - until now.”
It appears the business community at large is in agreement as thousands of business owners are rushing to implement this revolutionary new system - and many are already experiencing notable returns. Dozens of testimonials from excited users of the system continue to pour in weekly, with those numbers rapidly and constantly increasing.
In the course of the past 30 days more than 30,000 additional businesses have adopted this new free advertising system, and a very substantial number are experiencing unprecedented positive results. Projected growth has been estimated to be over 2 million participating businesses by the end of 2008, establishing this phenomenon as far more than just a “flash in the pan,” but a verifiable widespread trend in the business community at large. This is further evidenced by a number of “copy cat” programs which are attempting to emulate this system. It stands to reason that those who act early will realize the greatest benefit from this growing trend.
Move over, free advertising… Advertising that pays is finally here!

Neocleus, a pioneer in endpoint virtualization, announced that it has raised $11.4M in Series B funding
What Company Is Offering:
Neocleus addresses the growing endpoint management and security complexities that now face dispersed organizations. Their innovation in virtualization changes the way endpoints work to make them inherently more manageable and secure without impacting the user experience or computing performance. Their solutions satisfy IT requirements for greater control and lower infrastructure costs, and end-user needs for a more flexible and configurable environment in which to increase productivity.
How Much They Got From VCs:
Neocleus, a pioneer in endpoint virtualization, announced that it has raised $11.4M in Series B funding. Neocleus’ solutions create a more flexible, secure and efficient endpoint infrastructure. The round was led by Battery Ventures and Gemini Israel Funds, the company’s original investors.
Neocleus applies virtualization to desktops and laptops delivering the flexibility, manageability and security needed to address different user scenarios within a dynamic, dispersed enterprise. The company’s solutions, which include a Xen-based open source Type 1 bare-metal hypervisor for endpoints, enable critical IT tasks to operate in isolated, trusted virtual environments with complete access to the capabilities offered by the underlying endpoint hardware. This approach provides IT departments with a more agile and predictably secure virtual desktop environment and improves the overall cost of ownership of the endpoint.
“Neocleus is reinventing the endpoint, something that CIOs worldwide have been crying out for,” said Avi Domoshevizki, venture partner, Battery Ventures. “Enterprises today are burdened with rising endpoint support costs and an increasingly complex environment to secure and manage. Current virtualization solutions are insufficient because they either address only one issue or add complexity and cost. Neocleus’ novel approach changes the game to deliver a more agile infrastructure and reduce total cost of ownership of the endpoint. In addition, the company’s open source contributions are a catalyst for a new ecosystem that will further address the challenges facing IT departments. They have made tremendous progress since our initial investment, and we’re happy to continue to fuel their growth.”
