What Company Is Offering:
RealMetrics was founded with the vision of providing the most valuable, current and historical business metrics available on performance and reliability of online service providers. These metrics include uptime, web speed, CPU speed, disk speed, email speed and reliability and customer service response speed.
How It Works:
RealMetrics measures the reliability and performance of online service providers by establishing actual account(s) with each service provider and by performing actual measurements against these accounts.
Unlike editorial review sites, RealMetrics does not offer opinions of performance or reliability; they only offer objective, actual data-driven metrics as gathered directly from accounts set up with each service provider. The results you see are the real performance metrics we capture using scientific statistical analysis.
Who Is Backing Them:

Able Grape is a wine search engine
What Company Is Offering:
Able Grape. They're a wine search engine — not for comparison shopping, but for learning and research. They aim to be the world's most comprehensive, up-to-date, and authoritative source for online wine information.
They recommend a quick look at their help, especially the example queries, if this is your first use. They're a little different than your usual search engine, with numerous wine-specific features and a few twists to help you find things faster.
How It Works:
Able Grape is a wine search engine. They aim to be the world's most complete, authoritative, and up-to-date online source for any wine, enology, or viticultural information. By allowing you to leave off unnecessary terms, Able Grape gives you more complete results.
How Is It Different:
Able Grape is wine-specific, you don't need to add wine-specific terms. While you need to type Spanish Wine on Google to get good results, on Able Grape, you will get better results than Google by simply typing Spain. Similarly, instead of needing to type Argyle Winery or Argyle Vineyards to get just wine-related results, try simply Argyle. And instead of climate change and wine, try simply climate change. (They have included some great general resources about climate change, but you'll find that most of the results are wine-specific. Moreover, Able Grape knows that global warming and even cambiamento climatico mean the same thing).

They want to be the best web site where you can Manage, Share and Trade your Collectibles.
How It Works:
Manage 1. Easily create and organize catalogs of your collectibles, and store important information about them.
collectZing benefits all types of collectors – new collectors can learn from more experienced ones, join the community and make long-term friendships, and easily maintain a catalog of all their new purchases and finds. More obsessive collectors can benefit from the detailed object descriptions, which can be used to maintain financial and insurance information, track loans, trades and sale information.
You can upload images, and collectible details, all with a few clicks of your mouse!
Share 2. Connect with other collectors, and explore and share each others' collections and collectibles.
Once you’ve seen someone you want to meet, you can invite them to be your friend. Got a group of collector friends? Why not create a Collector Club, where you can chat in forums, and talk about what really matters!
Have you ever had to cancel a meeting of your local collector club because no one could get to it? No worries! Now you can create your own online club without leaving home! Want to post some important news? Write it in the forums. Have a personal blog? Why not import the posts into your club? Half the fun of collecting stuff is sharing it with other people – at collectZing, you can share everything!
Trade 3. Buy, Sell and Swap your Collectibles in the collectZing Marketplace for Free.
If you’re tired of wading through countless irrelevant auction listings for everything from alien duck x-rays to D-list celebrities’ belly button lint, then the collectZing Marketplace is for you. The collectZing Marketplace is an online trading exchange where collectors can buy, and swap their collectibles, with no fees or costs during the beta period.
Members can list their items for sale with a range of different payment options, including collectZing’s own virtual currency the ‘Zing’. Potential buyers can then browse and make offers on the items – including offering one of their own items for a swap as part of trade. The Marketplace is not auction based, sellers can choose to accept any of the offers meaning highest price is not necessarily guaranteed success.
How Is It Different:
Unlike auction web sites, collectZing tracks the provenance of the items traded in the Marketplace, helping to prevent fraud and substantially improving the historical information available about a collectible the next time it is offered for sale in the Marketplace.

UWIRE is currently revamping the company’s affiliate service and website, transforming itself from a flat newswire into a consumer-facing destination, featuring textual, photo, and video content, as well as a career platform for aspiring media professionals. The new UWIRE.com is dedicated to collaborative journalism, created by and for media’s next generation of talent – whom we affectionately call “The Content Generation.” Our goal is to capture the collective intelligence of these aspiring media professionals and offer visitors a place to discover refined, quality user-generated content.
In addition to developing its membership, UWIRE expanded its business model as well. This included the creation of their Press Release Service, a successful program that enables companies to efficiently deliver their message to student editors and receive coverage in college media. This service has benefited from their decade-long partnership with PR Newswire.

TradeVibes, is a new startup looking to create a database of information about private companies
What Company Is Offering:
TradeVibes, is a new startup looking to create a database of information about private companies. While the company indexes its fair share of the Web 2.0-type startups it also aims to include information about many other areas of technology – such as biotech, alternative energy, and semi-conductors.
How It Works:
TradeVibes takes a community approach to indexing and organizing company information. You can add companies and edit information about those already listed on the site. You can do the same thing with company executive profiles. For example, in the following profile of AdBrite, you can see background information on the company, its management team, competitors, and related companies. On the right, TradeVibes has built in additional features so you can vote whether you are “bullish” or “bearish” on the company (do you think its prospects are good or bad), and see that its Alexa rank has slipped recently. You can also see recent news and blogs about it.
Beyond company information, there are social news features, discussion areas, job boards, and an activity stream to see the most recent additions and changes to the site.
The company has seeded in profiles for hundreds of well-known companies, but for it to really become a valuable tool for those searching for corporate information, it’s going to rely on users submitting information for the thousands of smaller startups in the tech space.
The company is founded by four former PayPal employees, angel funded by Ron Conway, and Steve Chen of YouTube fame is on the company’s board of advisors.

MYBYTES--------Music Mixer
What Company Is Offering:
Go to the Music Mixer and create original songs using their library of loops and sound effects. You can layer tracks, adjust volume and panning, and even download the songs you made as MP3 files. You can find instructions for using the mixer on the mixer page. When you're finished creating your track, you can either save it to work on later, or set rights and publish it for use in the MyBytes community.
How It Works:
Your personal profile page is where you'll view your work, your downloads, and see if other users are downloading your songs. Your profile page is also where you set "Your Rules," a series of statements regarding intellectual property rights that apply to the tracks you create. You can change your user avatar, your password, or your rules at any time.
When you create a song, you can decide whether you want to save or publish your track. If you choose to save, the song will be published to your profile page, where you can work on it later. It will not be made accessible to the MyBytes community. However, if you choose to publish your song, you are putting it into the mix of user-created songs for other users to listen to, remix, or download. You set property rights for each song you create, and you can charge other users credits to remix or download your songs. All users have the choice to either pay or not pay credits for songs they take, just like in real life. You'll get to see if other users like your tracks, and if they're giving you credit for using your creation.
In order to participate in the MyBytes community, you need to register and create your profile. Select a user name (for security reasons, please do not use your real name), choose an avatar, set your security question, and you're ready to go! You can then use the mixer, download your own or other user-created tracks, and vote in the polls.

LoveDetect---Measuring Your Emotions Through The Voice Analysis Technology
What Company Is Offering:
LoveDetect is a subsidiary of TelTech Systems, INC).
LoveDetect measures high and constant levels of excitement and concentration - indicative of arousal derived mostly from sexual attraction. This type of feeling and arousal is usually present between two people in the beginning of their relationship, and before the relationship is moved to a more formal structure.
The higher the level of "Love" is, the more excited and concentrated your friend was in during the conversation. In many cases, you will see that the Love Level is rising when speaking about certain issues, but decreases again when speaking about a different issue. In these cases, the "Love Level" will reflect the emotions of your friend associated with the arousing issue, and not with the real feeling of love. To make sure that the Love analysis is really a result of attraction, the Love level should stay more or less constant throughout the conversation regardless of the issue at hand.
Who Is Behind Them:
LoveDetect is a subsidiary of TelTech Systems, INC).
TelTech is a company dedicated to revolutionizing how people use their phones to interact with each other. They are passionate about building best-in-class telephony applications that connect people with each other in meaningful ways.
The SENSE technology is the 3rd generation of the voice analysis technology invented in 1997, originally designed for security purposes.
Unlike other voice-analysis technologies, SENSE can analyze different layers within the voice, using multiple parameters to analyze each speech segment. SENSE can detect various cognitive states, such as whether your subject is excited, confused, stressed, concentrating, anticipating your responses, or unwillingly sharing information. The technology also can provide an in-depth view of the subject's range of emotions, including those relating to "love."

BuzzFlash.net is a user driven progressive political news website for BREAKING NEWS
What Company Is Offering:
BuzzFlash.net is a user driven progressive political news website that allows you to submit a story that may be reviewed by all visitors and may or may not be promoted to the front page. When you submit a story, it remains in the pending Buzz queue until it receives enough votes to be promoted to the main page.
How It Works:
Select the option Create Buzz and the recent stories will be listed for you, sorted by date of submission. You can then "buzz" the stories you like or consider important. Once the stories have surpassed the threshold of buzzes and karma, they will be promoted to the main page.
Your personal karma level is based on your positive contributions to the BuzzFlash.net community. This means, when you perform actions (such as buzzing a story, or submitting a story) that is in line with most other buzzer's opinions you will receive positive karma. If you perform actions that are counter to most other buzzer's opinions you will lose karma. Karma is adjusted nightly through an automatic process. Beware that even if you have earned karma in the past, inactivity will cause you to slowly lose that karma, so keep buzzing!
Every buzzer has a level of karma, and that level of karma is considered when they buzz a story. Stories gain (and lose) karma in relation to the buzzers who register their opinion with that story. Keep in mind, if your karma level is high then your vote will essentially 'count' more. The level of karma you see assocatied with stories is an indication of the quality of the story as determined by buzzers with varying levels of karma.

Online brokerage rewards most useful social network
Online brokerage TradeKing, looking to boost its social networking efforts, announced this week that it will provide a month of free trading to users of its online community whose content is determined to be most useful to others.
The company also announced this week plans to upgrade the social community, which it launched in 2005 to provide leads for its customers.
For example, users can now attach a "miniblog" commentary to specific trade notations, or learn about successful traders through a new "All Star Blog" where industry experts comment on the trading strategies of community members. Finally, the company has added a "groups" feature to the online community, where users with common interests can congregate and share investing strategies.
The contest to find the best user-generated content starts this month with community members choosing the three top-rated posts about specific trades and the three top-rated blog posts. They will also select the overall top-rated community member -- the person who garners the most combined votes for top blog post and trade notes.
The winners will receive unlimited free options and equities trades in March, said Don Montanaro, the company's CEO.
"[We've] taken the solitary pursuit of independent investing and turned it into a social pursuit," he noted. "You no longer have to feel alone because you now have cohorts who you can collaborate with. It is just really becoming a really vibrant spot where Main Street research meets Wall Street research."
Montanaro said the community now has about 7,000 users, up from 2,500 last summer. Because the community operates on the same site as the trading tool itself, the company can keep its users on the site longer, he added.
In addition, unlike other online investor forums that allow anonymous users, members are TradeKing customers who must register with their real names. Thus, other users know that the people who are advising them are real traders, he added. "They don't have to bounce from using whatever trading platform they might like to use over to a community ... to try to infuse their decision-making process with information from other folks," Montanaro said.

ShotCode connects your target audience to your websites in one click by using technology that changes camera mobile phones into personal scanners
What Company Is Offering:
ShotCode connects your target audience to your websites in one click by using technology that changes camera mobile phones into personal "barcode" scanners.

How It Works:
ShotCodes provide the links to local car dealers and consumers can instantly book a test ride with the car of their choice. Provide your customers with branded content right on their phone and get instant feedback about the quality of service. All via a simple ShotCode.
Use ShotCodes to provide exclusive content only visible to your customers such as free music, ring tones, video, games, concert tickets or any other product you can imagine.

Allow your customers to partake in sweepstakes on impulse and provide them with their winnings right at the point of sale. Coca Cola paved the way for this in Mexico using their Sprite brand. Consumers scanned ShotCodes right off of 600 ml Sprite bottles and were instantly rewarded with free pizza`s and DVD rentals (through a mobile coupon). Through a mobile coupon, participants could directly claim their prize at the participating outlets (Domino`s and Blockbuster). Relatively seen ShotCode usage outperformed the supporting SMS campaign.

Packaged goods giant Mars will become the first advertiser to sell actual products on Facebook
Packaged goods giant Mars will become the first advertiser to sell actual products on Facebook, a move aimed at building the commercial credentials of the social network.
The deal follows the recent backlash around the launch of Facebook’s Beacon, an advertising platform that allowed brands to pump ads without user consent. Facebook was forced to change the service to include an opt-in element.
This will be the first time that users on Facebook will be able to purchase actual and not “just virtual” products.
The applications will launch on Valentine’s Day. Called Celebrate, the service will enable users to buy actual Mars gifts which can be redeemed at participating stores through the use of a scanable, unique mobile voucher ID.
A user on the Celebrate application will be able to select, for example, a virtual box of Maltesers and send it to a friend on Facebook. When this message is opened, the user will be asked to enter his or her mobile number and an SMS barcode will be sent. That user can then go into a participating store, pick up a box of Maltesers, have the mobile code scanned and then leave with the goods.
The tie-up with Mars comes as Facebook UK commercial director Blake Chandlee, in an exclusive interview with Marketing Week, criticised retail, finance and travel advertisers for being slow to invest in social networking, unlike packaged goods brands.
