Incentives are dangerous?
Incentives are dangerous, and not just because people game them. They often yield collateral damage. Remember the tale of the Darwin Award winner who strapped a jet engine to his car, dreaming of a joyride for the ages, and then met his sorry end as a human flapjack on the side of a mountain? Incentives are like that jet engine. There's no question the engine will take you somewhere, fast, but it's not always clear where. Or what you're going to mow down on the way. Yet incentives are still the first resort of most managers, perhaps because they all think they're smart enough to create the perfect carrot.
Take Merrill Lynch. In the book Riding the Bull, author Paul Stiles describes his experience as a new trader at the venerable investment bank. Merrill wanted Stiles, then 29, to trade complex international bonds in volatile markets. He tried asking advice of the seasoned traders, but they ignored him -- a minute spent helping Stiles was a minute spent not adding to their monthly bonuses. They kept barking into their phones for hours at a time and yelled at Stiles every time his shadow fell across their computer screens. Eventually, Stiles was reduced to silently observing their behavior from a distance, like a rogue MBA anthropologist. It surely never dawned on the person who set up Merrill Lynch's incentive system that the traders' bonuses would make training new employees impossible.
Why are we so bad at anticipating the effects of our well-intentioned incentive plans? The answer has to do with something that psychologists call a "focusing illusion." Behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman and management professor David Schkade surveyed Midwestern students and asked them to predict the satisfaction of students in California on several dimensions, such as "job prospects," "climate," "personal safety," and overall life satisfaction. They also asked the Midwesterners to rate their own satisfaction. The professors then posed the same questions to actual California students and compared the answers. The Midwest students correctly predicted that the Californians would be happier about their weather.
But the Midwestern students wrongly predicted that California students would be happier with their lives in general than Midwestern students. The overall scores are identical. Schkade and Kahneman showed that, in essence, the Midwestern students erred by focusing too much on a single variable. When you're a Midwesterner contemplating a long, cold winter, you can't help but think that Californians must be happier. But you're ignoring the larger happiness portfolio, in which weather recedes to insignificance among the other things that may influence a Californian's satisfaction -- good friends, terrible traffic, career opportunities, laundry, and a governor who compulsively repeats Terminator jokes.

SendMeHome.com --Tracking And Recovery Service
What Company Is Offering:
SendMeHome.com is a premier item tracking and recovery service. It allows users to label any physical item with a unique SendMeHome ID. With the launch of its lost and found service in September - the first free service of its kind in the world - SendMeHome.com allowed its users to safeguard their valuables from loss. With the addition of SendMeHome Stories, users can now use labeled items as a catalyst to inspire online communication in new and creative ways.
How It Works:
A SendMeHome story can be created by anyone for free - all that is needed is an interesting object, an internet connection, and some creativity. To begin a story, a user must register an object at SendMeHome.com. The object is then passed from person to person; each person who receives the item can use its unique SendMeHome ID as a key to add a chapter to the online story. For example, an artist could register a blank canvas and ask each of its recipients to contribute in order to eventually form a finished painting. Each recipient would add to the painting, post a photograph of the progress, and pass it on to another painter. Users would then be able to watch the painting evolve over time and connect with the other contributors.
SendMeHome.com allows story creators to set detailed objectives and specific destinations for their objects. In addition, it provides a rich interface for writing each chapter - complete with images, videos, maps, and a full-featured text editor - with one of the fastest and most intuitive interfaces available online.

MelZoo is a Meta Search engine offers “visual previews” of the search results
What Company Is Offering:
This Meta search engine, offers “visual previews” of the search results. In other words users will receive much more relevant, quality information.
MelZoo is a Meta Search engine because this engine displays the results of different searches in one place.MelZoo is confident that this time-saving and result-increasing feature will invite a lot of internet surfers to switch from their traditional search engine to MelZoo.

Chances are that users who enjoy the luxury of a detailed thumbnail preview, will be a lot more selective in visiting the sites they are interested in. This results in a higher effectiveness of use. The chances of "conversion" (i.e. from hit to buy) is currently estimated 5 times higher than with traditional search engines.
MelZoo is a virtual place where "top level professionals" can collaborate with the objective of creating the world's leading Search Engine. MelZoo is a unique place where top skilled: Software Programmers, Managers, e-marketers, etc... can contribute to the growth of MelZoo as volunteers.

Gootodo is a Web-based todo list
What Company Is Offering:
Gootodo is a Web-based todo list that can radically boost your productivity. It lets you forward e-mails to future days, so you don't have to deal with them today.
How It Works:
1. Each todo is associated with a particular day.
If you don't need to finish a todo today, redate it to a future day, so that it doesn't clutter your todo list today. (This is a paradigm shift from Outlook's task list, where every todo from now into the ages is shown, incredibly, on today's list!)
Here's something you don't generally hear in discussions about productivity: it's good to procrastinate. In Gootodo, you should move todos as far in the future as possible (remember, "let the bits go"). This way, today's list is filtered to the fewest, and most important, todos.
2. Each todo has a ranking within its day.
For example, in today's todo list (see first image below), you can use the arrow buttons to re-order the todos so that the highest-priority item is always on top.
A good exercise at 9:00 a.m. every morning is to filter the todos for today: redating non-critical todos into future days, and sorting today's todos from most to least important. You then have an ordered list of everything you need to get done today - and you always know what you should be working on at any moment: the todo on top!
3. Any e-mail program can create new todos - for today or a day in the future.
This is perhaps the most important advance that Gootodo offers over any other productivity tool. Easy example: if you're in a meeting with your Blackberry and think of a new todo, just e-mail today's todo list address. Gootodo reads the e-mail and creates a new todo: the subject line of the e-mail becomes the summary, and the body of the e-mail becomes the detail.
Another example: If you e-mail someone a question, just BCC the Gootodo address (for today or in the future), which will create a todo item, on the correct day, reminding you to follow up with that person to make sure you got a response.
Linking your e-mail - whether Outlook, Gmail, Blackberry, or any other mailer - to your todo list and a calendar allows for a significant jump in productivity. I personally use this feature all the time, every day.
