Oters Online---Introducing Relevant People To You
What Company Is Offering:
Others Online is not "yet another social network", but rather an opt-in directory of people, their interests, behaviors, context, location and presence. This site that introduces you to the people whose paths cross with yours online.
How It Works:
The Others Online patent-pending service introduces the concept of "personal tagclouds", which they use to contextually and behaviorally match users with each other on every page view. So if you like Stephen King and racquetball, and are reading reviews of the Xbox 360, their service will show you everyone else (on any other Web site) who's also interested in Xbox 360, Stephen King, racquetball and any other shared interests. These aren't just people who you're already friends with, but rather a warm introduction to any person who's relevant to your online experience.
They're positioning their service as a people directory which any user or established Web site community can use as they wish. They will partner with social networks because they believe they can help them reinforce the value of their communities to their user base, wherever they are on the Web.
For each user, they store a set of keywords/phrases that represent their interests. Those interests are entered by the users, and may also consist of temporary keywords that pertain to their current browsing session -- if you're searching the web for "Xbox 360", we associate that interest to you temporarily. If you continue to show an interest in "Xbox 360" (over multiple sessions) and/or write about it in your blog, we'll continue to associate it to you. In any event, when you're signed in, we simply match your keyword list with others and show you the people who share the most interests with you. So that you don't see the same people over and over again, our objective is to show you those profiles that first relate to your current browsing (such as your "Xbox 360" search) and then filter that list to show those people who share other interests. You can always see HOW you're matched with others, because they show you the keywords which connect you.

IMMI has created a new integrated media measurement system that links media exposure to consumer action has raised $25 million
What Company is Offering:
IMMI has created a new integrated media measurement system that links media exposure to consumer action. Using a digital monitoring system based on open-architecture cell phones, IMMI tracks media 24/7—including media that other research companies can't accurately measure.
How It Works:
IMMI offers the highest-quality data and analysis to advertisers and broadcasters by focusing on two key areas.IMMI solves key methodological problems associated with most existing media research:
Comprehensive tracking of all media, not just a single source.
Unobtrusive and totally passive data collection. There's no need for any activity that might alter panel members behavior, or for special encoding by media providers.
Cell phone based data collection. IMMI uses off-the-shelf hardware that research panel members already know how to operate.
Real-time reports with detailed demographics that get to individual behavior, not just group averages.
IMMI connects advertising to consumer behavior more directly and more accurately than any other service and answers these key questions:
How many people are actually watching my network, including outside the home and using time-shifting devices?
How many people actually see my commercial?
How effective is my advertising?
Where and when should I advertise?
Did my local ads and promos run, and when?
What songs cause radio listeners to change stations?
What programming causes TV viewers to change channels?
How can I measure new media audiences that are not accurately measured today?
How Much They Got From VCs:
Integrated Media Measurement is provider of data and analytics to media companies and advertisers, has raised $25 million in Series C funding. Kantar Media Research, the media research division of WPP Group, led the deal, and was joined by return backers Draper fisher Jurvetson and Advanced Technology Ventures.

Asterpix enables users to easily create interactive videos
What Company is Offering:
Asterpix enables users to easily create interactive videos and share them through websites, blogs, and email.
How It Works:
Hypervideo is comparable to hypertext in some respects. Hypertext makes text an interactive experience, allowing you to create and click on “hot” links to navigate a document. Hypertext has changed the way we navigate documents. For example, when we open a simple text document such as a printed book, we often look at the table of contents first and then turn to the page of interest. When they open a hypertext document, the table of contents typically comprises links to the appropriate portions of the document. Simply clicking on these links takes us to the relevant sections and subsections. Hypertext documents contain links to other hypertext documents allowing the reader to navigate large quantities of information quickly to gather what is of interest at that moment.
Analogous to hypertext, hypervideo makes video an interactive experience. Specifically, hypervideo allows users to create links from objects in a video, even as these objects move around in the scene. Viewers may then click on these “hotspot” links to navigate the video and get more information on objects of interest.
Recent Updates:
New offering lets you do a little bit more with your video clips, including customization options like hyperlinks, hotspots, logos and an icon link. You’ll also be able to do things like control the length of time a hotsot follows an item, set default hotspot markers, and use a “point and shoot” authoring interface to get the job done.

Zuora is a Benchmark funded start-up has raised $6.5 million in Series A funding
About Company:
Zuora, Inc is a Benchmark funded start-up based in Redwood Shores, CA led by veterans from WebEx, Salesforce.com, Accenture, DiCarta, Postini and Oracle.
How Much They Got From VCs:
Zuora Inc., a Calif.-based software-as-a-service startup, has raised $6.5 million in Series A funding. Benchmark Capital led the deal, with Benchmark partner Peter Fenton taking a board seat.
About VCs:
They invest in technology-driven companies that seek to create new markets with significant growth potential. They focus on early-stage investing and take a labor-intensive, service-oriented approach in markets where we have direct experience. These include enterprise software and services, communications & security, semiconductors, mobile computing, consumer services and financial services.
And, to ensure that each portfolio company gets the support it needs to succeed, we actively limit the number of companies we invest in. This gives us an unusually high partner-to-company ratio and guarantees that our portfolio companies get the attention they deserve.
Their investments range in size from as little as $100,000 to as much as $10 or $15 million. Typically, they invest $3 to $5 million initially and expect to invest $5 to $15 million over the life of a company. They invest for the long haul, not 'quick flips,' and look for entrepreneurs with a similar perspective.

Inform Technologies is a new technology solution for established media brands that automatically searches, organizes and links content got $15 milli
What Company Is Offering:
Inform Technologies is a new technology solution for established media brands that automatically searches, organizes and links content to provide a rich, compelling experience that attracts and retains readers. The technology relies upon artificial intelligence tools, natural language processing, identification of topics, and the continual scanning and processing of content as it is published anywhere on the Internet.
How It Works:
Inform uses artificial intelligence and proprietary rules and algorithms to scan millions of pages of text and read the way a journalist does – identifying key “entities,” such as people, places, companies and products, and recognizing how they connect, even in subtle and context-specific ways. The software continually teaches itself – in real time – how information is related and automatically updates links and topics as the context changes.
How Much They Got From VCs:
Inform Technologies, a technology solution for established media brands, has received a $15 million investment from Spark Capital, a Boston-based venture fund focused on the intersection of the media, entertainment and technology industries. Inform will use the funds to help implement its strategy for accelerated growth.
About VCs:
Spark Capital is a venture capital fund focused on building businesses that transform the distribution, management and monetization of media and content, with experience in identifying and actively building market-leading companies in sectors including infrastructure (Qtera, RiverDelta, Aether Systems, Broadbus and BigBand), networks (College Sports Television, TVONE and XCOM) and services (Akamai and the Platform). Spark Capital has over $600 million under management, and is based in Boston, Massachusetts. Spark has committed to investing $20 million in CNET equity.

Once parents add up the costs to host the event at home and compare it to what it would cost to have the event at BounceU, they quickly see the unbeatable value and service that BounceU provides. If that’s not enough, they just have to envision the look on their child’s face at the end of the perfect party – at BounceU we truly do create happy memories for kids and parents!.

Chickipedia is the world’s largest web-based, women-based, wiki-based database of hot chicks on the planet
What Company Is Offering:
Chickipedia is the world’s largest web-based, women-based, wiki-based database of hot chicks on the planet. It is entirely user generated, making it the first female-only encyclopedia of the people, by the people, and for the people.
How It Works:
All you have to do is have access to the internet, log on, go to our “Add New Chick” link, and voila—you can create a new article, or revise an existing one. Just be sure to do so within our guidelines or risk being spanked. Hard.
Chickipedia is not your grandpa’s encyclopedia. First of all, anyone can contribute. Second, the older the profile the more well researched and accurate it is. Newer profiles tend to include falsehoods, half truths, or people just being stupid, because they haven’t been up long enough for editors to police them or to build a consensus. Third, Chickipedia is not written in stone. It can change at any second with continual updates. In fact, as we wrote that Angelina Jolie’s birthplace changed.
Their editors will be there to monitor, advise, and correct mistakes. Just don’t purposefully mess around with the site. You know the drill: If you vandalize, you will be penalized. In other words, you will be bounced off the site. Hard.

JotYou is location based messaging
What Company Is Offering:
JotYou is location based messaging. Send a message to your friends so they get it when they arrive at school or the ballpark or the mall. Make up geo-games. Track a foot race or bicycle race. Stage a road rally with virtual checkpoints, and feed the directions as participants progress. Ever plan to pick up the milk on the way home from work, but drive right by the store and forget? Use JotYou™ to remind yourself as you pass by specified locations. The possibilities are endless.
How it works:
You send a message to one person or many people, and specify a delivery time and location using the map on the computer, or an address from your mobile. When they arrive at the location you specify, JotYou alerts them by "buzzing" their cell phone, and delivering the message. It's just that simple!
JotYou also has a tracking feature that you can enable for fun games, events, and contests. The event organizer creates a tracking group, and can watch the locations of participants on the map as the event proceeds, and the times they were at those locations. Privacy is of course a concern, so the tracker only works when you allow it to, and visibility of location data is restricted by the group owner. Entry is protected by double-opt-in security, and tracking data is only collected during limited "game time" windows.

FaceContact.com is an online tool for referral tracking through your social network with a cash reward
What Company Is Offering:
FaceContact.com is an online tool for referral tracking through your social network with a cash reward and for managing the application and selection processes. FaceContact.com expands the engagement opportunities beyond jobs to help users find service providers, new clients, investors, or investment opportunities (like real estate).
FaceContact.com was a finalist in the competition for EU start-ups organised by Index Ventures, Benchmark Capital, Atomico, DFJ Esprit, 3i, The Accelerator Group, Atlas Ventures, Partech International, Accel Partners, Highland Capital Partners, Wellington Partners, Advent Ventures and other leading venture firms (www.seedcamp.com).
How It Works:
FaceContact.com program carefully tracks who was referred by whom. Once the originator makes his or her selection and reports back to FaceContact.com, the system automatically rewards the right people. Just be sure to always make referrals by clicking on the link in the email you receive. If you instead forward the message to your contacts, you won’t get credit for the referral.
The “originator,” or the person who is searching for a new contact to fill an engagement opportunity, decides how much to place in the reward pool. Most rewards range from $800 to $5000.You have made a successful referral whenever the person you referred is selected for the engagement opportunity, whether as an employee, service provider, client, investor, or something else.
If you don’t want to participate in the referral pool, you can choose to donate the money to your favorite university or charity. In fact, this could be a great fund raiser if you and your contacts are all supporting the same organization.
