What Company Is Offering:
Track-n-Graph is a powerful information tracking and graphing solution that allows you to track just about anything.
Track-n-Graph breaks through the limitations of today's existing solutions by letting you define what information you want to track, how you want to collect it, and how and who you want to view it. Instead of signing up for multiple sites or services, you sign up for Track-n-Graph and have a single source for all of your tracking needs.
How It Works:
With the Track-n-Graph service, you have the ability to create a tracker based on your specific needs, or you can use the unique Tracker Catalog to find a Tracker Template that already tracks the information you want to collect. These Tracker Templates are created and shared by Track-n-Graph users who have submitted them for community use.
The power of the Track-n-Graph service lies in the fact that you are not limited by what has already been defined; you can create your own trackers as well as customize existing templates to meet your specific needs. The easy-to-use interface allows you to add and update data quickly, and you see the results on your brightly colored and interactive graph immediately. Track-n-Graph mobile features allow you to enter and update your data on your mobile phone or device, so you can keep your tracker up to date away from your computer. Beyond collecting your data, the Track-n-Graph service offers powerful sharing and publishing features if you want to share your information with other people.
Track-n-Graph sharing allows you to make your trackers and graphs available to groups of users that you trust. You can share information in a “View Only” mode where trusted members can only view your data, or you can share information in “Team Tracker” mode. “Team Tracker” mode allows all the members of your group to enter data into the tracker and graph their data along with the other members.
Track-n-Graph publishing features allow you to make any of your graphs available to the public using a unique URL address or the Track-n-Graph embedded graph viewer.

I had such a great time and met so many new friends, some of whom I stay in touch with to this day. On my second singles cruise over Halloween 2005, I still wasn't looking for a serious relationship, but I ended up meeting my future husband Jim Robertson from Vancouver.”

RescueTime is a web-based time-management tool that allows you to easily understand how you spend your time
What Company is Offering:
RescueTime is a web-based time-management tool that allows you to easily understand how you spend your time. One of the coolest things about RescueTime is that there is NO DATA ENTRY. You install a doohicky on your computer and they magically track all of your time usage.
How It Works:
RescueTime doesn't really care which applications you have open, but rather pays attention to which applicaiton or site is currently "in focus". In other words, they're measuring what's what you are paying attention to.
RescueTime has an idle timeout that will stop the data collection process if there hasn't been mouse or keyboard activity for a certain period of time. It's also interesting to note that we're working on being able to accept data from various calendaring applications, so that you can track your meeting time in RescueTime.

Persai is a content aggregator that is specific to your interests
What Company Is Offering:
Persai is a content aggregator that is specific to your interests. You specify a topic that you're interested in with a few words, and Persai will find new content relevant to that interest and recommend it to you.
How It Works:
As you use Persai, it learns about you, and can better recommend content to you. Recommendations are based entirely on content, other users' feedback has no bearing on what Persai recommends to you. As an example of this, they have taken two "interests" in Persai, stylized them, and put them on their own domains.
www.eyeonfacebook.com is a Persai interest that I created with the words "facebook, mark zuckerberg"
www.appleinsight.com is an interest that Kyle created with the words "apple, mac" .
These two sites are examples of content that you would see as a Persai user who is interested in Facebook and Apple. Of course, these sites are just for testing their classifiers; the persai.com consumer site will be much more interactive. Personally, they have been using it to follow news about the American subprime mortgage lending crisis and global warming.

Backtags provides a new assessment of websites in comparison to traditional traffic analysis and ranking methodologies
What Company Is Offering:
Backtags provides a new assessment of websites in comparison to traditional traffic analysis and ranking methodologies. Backtags brings in a social component, by determining the interaction of visitors with websites and the “Tags or Keywords” visitors use to describe the content of a particular website.
This is achieved by extracting data from the top leading social bookmarking services on how often individual websites are bookmarked or referenced by users and the descriptions visitors use to describe their perception of the content of a site.
How It Works:
Backtags collects the total amount of bookmarks for any domain across the top leading social bookmarking services. This data is then summarized resulting in a total score (Total amount of bookmarks or references) for any given domain. The results are then normalized to provide a ranking of all websites.
This "social ranking" gives an indication of the popularity of a website as determined by the user. The theory behind this is - If a large number of users use a particular keyword/tag or range of keywords/tags to describe their perception of the content of a site then this site is more relevant for these keywords or tags than others.

How It Works:

In eDirectree, you can give your friends, family, and other contacts permission to organize your groups - not just to add comments, but also notes and tags.

And as all this info accretes around the groups as metadata, you can find them so much easier later on, since all this info is also searchable.

EduWizardS features the world's best online tutors, ranked and reviewed by students
What Company Is Offering:
EduWizardS features the world's best online tutors, ranked and reviewed by students. Most other online tutoring websites continue with mediocre tutors for years, and which students get the good tutors is generally a matter of luck. At EduWizardS the best tutors are clearly identified by the students themselves. They believe the most effective way of identifying top tutors is by actual review of tutors by students. All reviews are openly posted. Using these reviews and other information, a student can choose which tutor he/she wants.
How It Works:
All tutoring sessions are live and one-to-one with a tutor personally selected by you. They currently have "by appointment" tutoring where you choose a tutor, choose a time from that tutor's available times, and make an appointment. They are also starting Instant On-Demand Tutoring, where you can see which tutors are currently online, have a pre-session chat with tutor(s), and then instantly start a session with the tutor of your choice.
The choice of tutor is always entirely yours. You can choose any tutor you want based on his/her price, reviews, experience, qualifications and other factors. You can also try out a tutor for free since almost all tutors offer half-hour trial sessions. These sessions are absolutely free with no strings attached.
Funds can be added to your student account Credit Balance by using either a credit card or a PayPal account. Both kinds of transactions are handled via PayPal.com, which is owned by Ebay. They have set up with Paypal so that they alone (and not our company) deal with your credit card and other info. The entire transaction takes place at their website, and after the transaction you are returned to their website.

AdCamo intends to bring back the visual appeal of online ads with the introduction of Camouflage Advertising
What Company Says:
They believe that Publishers need to allow the option of more branding for their Advertisers, by not limiting them with mostly small formats and sizes.
Website users have become adapted to "traditional" advertising formats - which allow them to cancel out banners, text ads and intrusive formats. AdCamo intends to bring back the visual appeal of online ads with the introduction of Camouflage Advertising.
How It Works:
Camouflage Advertising is a way to disguise the appearance using seamless background ad formats.
Background ads aren’t clickable – they’re much more about branding. AdCamo wants to change this by bringing the format to a network where advertisers can make buys across multiple small-to-mid sized sites.AdCamo adds to the monetization mix, and assuming publishers have some control over what ads show on their site.

Officially, MarketerSuperstar.com went live this past Friday, February 1st at 12:00 PM CT, to start promoting a unique Pre-Launch Business Opportunity. This new online business is currently on ‘Alpha Phase’ mode, the earliest stage any development has ever started to promote which is unheard in the industry.
Although it is still too soon to tell what the final Product will finally look or be like, Peter Palatnik, the mind behind the Project, considers this is the best timing to start a personal relationship with future Marketer Superstars. He commented more about this:
“Whenever you have the chance to collaborate right from the beginning, with anyone looking to become a successful entrepreneur, and share the goals and vision I have set for this large scale project, you can always provide added benefits for everyone involved early on, including possible new ideas for improvement and the precise needs and feels that you might miss or had never thought about before.”
Rumors say this Unique Educational Program will feature 7 levels with very precise and specific how-to information. Each level may contain over 5 modules integrating a balanced mix of theory and practical implementation through guided training sessions. “Using a balanced mix of theory/practice will lead to better understating and speed of implementation, which in my humble opinion, is the best formula for success”. Mr. Palatnik added.
