Wise Mapping is the web mind mapping tool
What Company Is Offering:
Wise Mapping is the web mind mapping tool that leverages the power of Mind Maps mixing new technologies like vectorial languages (SVG and VML) and the power of the whole Web 2.0 concept. No pluggin required.

To do all this they have a powerful yet simple and intuitive editor to build the maps and lots of features (and upcoming ones) that will help you use WiseMapping.
A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea. It is used to generate, visualize, structure and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, and decision making.
It is an image-centered diagram that represents semantic or other connections between portions of information. By presenting these connections in a radial, non-linear graphical manner, it encourages a brainstorming approach to any given organizational task, eliminating the hurdle of initially establishing an intrinsically appropriate or relevant conceptual framework to work within.
A mind map is similar to a semantic network or cognitive map but there are no formal restrictions on the kinds of links used.
The elements are arranged intuitively according to the importance of the concepts and they are organized into groupings, branches, or areas. The uniform graphic formulation of the semantic structure of information on the method of gathering knowledge, may aid recall of existing memories.

ContextGain is a fast, easy and free way to give your users convenient access to related content from premium sources
What Company Is Offering:
ContextGain is a fast, easy and free way to give your users convenient access to related content from premium sources. In addition, ContextGain allows AdSense publishers to potentially increase their ad revenue by placing their ads on the ContextGain Panel.
How It Works:
ContextGain offers three different options to incorporate related-content into your web pages: In-text Links, Related-keyword Cloud and Custom Links. All three implementation options display ContextGain links on your pages. When your users click on these links, a ContextGain Panel will open up. This panel includes related articles and news stories from around the Web.
Unique Features:
In-text Links offer your users a convenient way to get information related to words and phrases in your web page or blog. ContextGain automatically selects keywords and phrases from your web page or blog post that may further interest your users and double underline them. Clicking on those links opens a ContextGain Panel with related news stories and articles.
A Related-keyword Cloud is a list of words and phrases that are related to your web page. They are sorted alphabetically and their font sizes are weighted according to the relevancy of each keyword to the content of the page. Each keyword in the cloud is a link that may be used by your users to activate the ContextGain Panel and get instant access to related information.
Custom Links are similar to in-text links. The main difference is that in-text links are generated automatically (i.e. the system selects which words and phrases on your web pages will become a ContextGain link) whereas in Custom Links you have full control over where to place the link, the link text and the query that will be used to search for related content when the link is clicked. This option requires basic familiarity with HTML .

RecruiTT - --Unique Concept Of Online Recruitment
What Company Is Offering:
Recruitt enables employers to interview prospective candidates online. Jobs are posted with online interviews set by the employer. Candidates can apply by completing the interview. Traditionally, recruitment agencies provide the gateway between candidates and employers, sifting CVs to find candidates to present to the employer for consideration. Recruitt replaces that need by providing a service which allows candidates to stand out from the crowd by presenting themselves directly to employers via the online interview.
How It Works:
With Recruitt, you have the opportunity to shine in front of a prospective employer by completing an online interview set directly by the employer. Avoiding the middle man (recruitment agencies) saves time and effort and gives you the opportunity to get your CV in front of the real decision makers – the employers.
When the employer set the question, they also set the answers that their ideal candidate would reply with and gives each question points (‘Other’ type questions are not scored but may further help employers filter
candidates.) If your answer meets their requirements, you are allocated the points and at the end of the interview, your points are totalled. Any candidates achieving the minimum pass score set by the employer will have their CV sent to the employer directly.
This will mean that you will only be put forward for jobs that you are more likely to be recruited for, saving effort, time and money.

Streem is microblogging tool
What Company Says:
Streem, it's a serious attempt to help define the next iteration of weblogging and social media, or to be the Apple to Facebook's Microsoft, or something.
What are the ideas behind making it:
In a social network, producing content should be an active process and assembling an audience should be effortless. Instead of monitoring my behavior and relaying it to people I tell you I trust, let me share what I choose to and you can show it to whoever's interested. More eyeballs, less paranoia.
Pull the blogger down from the stage and into the crowd. When you flatten the relationship between posts and comments, commenters become publishers in their own right, and content becomes less lonely.
Many of the tools they're using to put stuff online are out of sync with the shrinking timescale of real-world activity. Slice content into tiny pieces and you remove the psychological barriers to producing it. This is obvious by now.
They're not so different: when everyone's posts are made of the same molecules, they can merge and separate in useful and exciting ways.
Design isn't everything, but it's pretty close.

DotHomes is a real estate search engine—a “Google of property”
What Company Is Offering:
DotHomes is a real estate search engine—a “Google of property”.
Consumers use DotHomes to quickly search over thousands of estate agent Websites across multiple countries, with relevant search results taking consumers to property listings on these Websites. Underlying DotHomes’ search mechanism is a proprietary data-mining technology which allows for scalable and accurate indexing (aggregation) of property listings directly from estate agency Websites—with zero cost or effort for estate agents.
How it Works:
DotHomes offers a real alternative to the traditional directory Websites for real estate search (like RightMove, PrimeLocation and PropertyFinder). These Websites require that estate agents send in datafeeds of their property listings, and estate agents are charged a monthly fee for the privilege. DotHomes also offers an alternative to the new “mashup” Websites, which index only the directory Websites—and thereby do not link through to the original, potentially richer and more up-to-date property listings on the sourcing estate agent Websites.
For estate agents, DotHomes provides a free and effortless marketing platform. For house hunters, DotHomes provides the easiest and most transparent way to find properties on the Web.

Tipit----The Easiest Way To Turn Content Into Cash
What Company is Ofering:
You consume great content online for free. You want authors to keep making this cool stuff. Why not show them your appreciation by giving them a small token?
Tipit.to makes that possible.
Tipit.to enables people to show their support to a cause, person or website by tipping some money. Voluntarily giving money, no matter how small the amount, serves as moral and financial support.
To make tipping easier, Tipit.to enables users to tip amounts as low as a couple of cents. These tip intentions are not transferred immediately. Once the total amount of money tipped reaches a threshold, a user will be prompted to make good on their intentions.
How It Works:
The amount of money transferred to other sites may seem small but all the amounts add up and the recognition from each individual tipper is priceless.
It only takes a single click.Tipping is as easy as possible. With a single click users are taken to Tipit.to where they can specify the amount to tip. After tipping users are taken back to the site they came from. Widgets to further integrate tipping with the host environment and eliminate the roundtrip will be released in the future.
Tipit.to handles the accounting of incoming and outgoing tips. After receiving the money, it is made available to those tipjar owners it was meant for.
Tipping means paying real money to show your appreciation. This creates a much more accurate measure of which sites on the web are worth something (i.e. real money). While votes may be faked or gamed, tips speak for themselves.
Tipit.to tries to minimize the amount of transaction costs for both the giving and receiving parties. Unfortunately in today's world, financial transactions even after they have been batched can cost significant amounts of money. Tipit.to charges exactly enough money to break even on the transaction costs.
Setting up a tipjar is very easy. The associated code to tip that tipjar is simply a button with a link to the Tipit.to website. Users are guided through the tipping process and then returned to your website when they're done.
Tip intentions that have been paid by tippers show up on your incoming tips. When your total amount of incoming money has passed a threshold you can cash it out. Tipit.to only charges the transaction fees of the payout method you choose.
