NNDB is an intelligence aggregator that tracks the activities of people thry have determined to be noteworthy
What Company Is Offering:
NNDB is an intelligence aggregator that tracks the activities of people thry have determined to be noteworthy, both living and dead. Superficially, it seems much like a "Who's Who" where a noted person's curriculum vitae is available (the usual information such as date of birth, a biography, and other essential facts.) But it mostly exists to document the connections between people, many of which are not always obvious. A person's otherwise inexplicable behavior is often understood by examining the crowd that person has been associating with. Eventually, they will have synopses and analyses of creative works by the people in the database, including their books, films, and recordings.
How It Works:
The NNDB Mapper is a visual tool for exploring the connections between people in NNDB, linking them together through family relations, corporate boards, movies and TV, political alliances, and shadowy conspiracy groups. Maps can be saved and shared for others to explore.

It doesn't matter where the artist is from or where the content will be sold, because CultureLoad users use this common "currency".
How It Works:
Once you are registered, you can use communication tools to connect with all other registered artists and members. But if you want to download music, films, photos or texts provided from the registered artist you must buy it (with the exception of Free Downloads).You first have to register at CultureLoad. Then you should use your account at PayPal or Moneybookers (or open a new one for free), and add money to these micro-payment system in order to transfer the money to CultureLoad. CultureLoad then sends the money to the artists. If you have enough money in your account you can buy the content you like.

Sift'd is a place to submit and vote on cool stuff you find on the internet
What Company Is Offering:
Sift'd is a place to submit and vote on cool stuff you find on the internet. The most popular stuff as decided by the users gets put on the front page of each section, and the most popular of the popular gets featured on the home page!
How It Works:
Every user at Sift’d has a value between 1 and 100 percent that is their SiftKarma. Every time they vote or comment they ’spend’ some of their SiftKarma, and every time another someone votes on their submissions and comments they ‘earn’ more.It also effectively deals with anyone who makes multiple accounts. If a person makes 40 accounts and tries to get their submission front paged it might work - once or twice - but eventually their 40 accounts will have a combined weight of one user with average SiftKarma. Their 40 accounts, even if they’re used to +vote each other, result in a net loss for each account.
The only way a person could maintain their deception would be by having each of their accounts participating on the site and receiving positive votes by real users which might be feasible for a couple of accounts but maintaining multiple personas that attract positive attention is likely to be impossible for any lengthy period of time.
People using services like usersubmitter.com are also going to find themselves out of luck unless they can devote time into maintaining good SiftKarma to offset what they use selling their votes.

CitizenHawk’s patent-pending technology identifies instances of cybersquatting that infringe on a company’s trademark, sends notices of fraudulent activity to domain owners, interrupts the flow of money being paid to cybersquatters and automates legal action to get fraudulent sites stopped for good.
CitizenHawk’s mission is to allow companies to protect one of their most valuable assets – their brand – and to reclaim millions in revenues lost through “accidental traffic” currently monetized by fraudulent domain holders through PPC advertising, porn ads, gambling, pop-ups, spyware, affiliate fraud and other spurious means.
