What Company Is Offering:
SenseBot is a semantic search engine that generates a text summary of multiple Web pages on the topic of your search query. It uses text mining and multidocument summarization to extract sense from Web pages and present it to the user in a coherent manner. A "Semantic Cloud" of concepts is displayed above the summary, allowing to steer the focus of the results.
How It Works:
SenseBot represents a new type of Search Engine that delivers a summary in response to your search query instead of a collection of links to Web pages. SenseBot parses top results returned by one of the major Web search engines (either Google or Yahoo or Live) and prepares a text summary of them. The summary serves as a digest on the topic of your query, blending together the most significant and relevant aspects of the search results. The summary itself becomes the main result of your search. SenseBot's approach is unique and protected by Patent Pending.

GradeGenie is a website that allows students and faculty to share non-copyrighted, academically allowed course materials with other students
What Company Is Offering:
GradeGenie is a website that allows students and faculty to share non-copyrighted, academically allowed course materials with other students. Items such as class notes, study guides, prior homework assignments and other materials that would help a student gain a more in-depth understanding of their coursework would be offered on the site. Items such as tests, etc, or anything that would be in violation of the academic fraud and plagiarism policies are NOT allowed.
How It Works:
GradeGenie takes study groups to a whole new level. It allows real-time, mass collaboration of ideas, notes, etc beyond the geographic limitations of a single university. Our belief is if GradeGenie can enhance a student's understanding of their course materials, and help them save time, then better grades can be achieved through better learning.
GradeGenie depends on students helping students by uploading class notes in an easy to use tool that will then post the notes in a way that other students will be able to easily find them. The second way and probably the most frequently used way, will be for students to search for the class notes that are important to them. You will be able to search, view and download (as applicable) the notes that will help you study more effectively for your class.

GradeGenie is a website that allows students and faculty to share non-copyrighted, academically allowed course materials with other students. Items such as class notes, study guides, prior homework assignments and other materials that would help a student gain a more in-depth understanding of their coursework would be offered on the site. Items such as tests, etc, or anything that would be in violation of the academic fraud and plagiarism policies are NOT allowed.
How It Works:
GradeGenie takes study groups to a whole new level. It allows real-time, mass collaboration of ideas, notes, etc beyond the geographic limitations of a single university. Our belief is if GradeGenie can enhance a student's understanding of their course materials, and help them save time, then better grades can be achieved through better learning.
GradeGenie depends on students helping students by uploading class notes in an easy to use tool that will then post the notes in a way that other students will be able to easily find them. The second way and probably the most frequently used way, will be for students to search for the class notes that are important to them. You will be able to search, view and download (as applicable) the notes that will help you study more effectively for your class.

FlexJobs
What Company Is Offering:
They are jobs that fall outside of the traditional full-time, on-site, 9-to-5 job. There are many types, such as telecommuting (or work from home, telework, virtual work, etc.), part-time, flex-time, contract, consulting, project-based, seasonal, volunteer... or a combination of these!
How Is It Different:
FlexJobs is one of the few job services completely free of commercial and other paid advertising. That means you won’t have to be constantly suspicious about which jobs are real... and which are scams or schemes “posing” as jobs to take advantage of you.
They believe that it's better -- and critical to the integrity of their company -- to have a database of both high quality professionals AND high quality jobs, and they work hard to accomplish that.
FlexJobs has a clean, easy-to-use, 2.0 website that utilizes top search and privacy technologies.
