Mpowerplayer is the leading consumer destination in the world for online demos of mobile games
What Company Is Offering:
Mpowerplayer is the leading consumer destination in the world for online demos of mobile games. The company's proprietary software solutions enable mobile content providers to better merchandise, market, and interact with a targeted user audience of mobile consumers.
How Much They Got From VCs:
Mpowerplayer, the leading provider of mobile game trial and merchandising solutions for the wireless industry, announced today that it has secured $2.5 million in Series A funding. The round includes investments from New Atlantic Ventures, the Center for Innovative Technology GAP Fund, and LaunchBox Digital.
The funding comes at a time of heightened interest in the mobile game industry, following Apple's successful launch of its App Store for iPhone, and with Apple's rivals seeking to follow suit.
"70 percent of online consumers play games in their web browser, but less than 5 percent play games on their mobile phone," said Michael Powers, CEO of Mpowerplayer. "Every one of these people carries a game console in their pocket, but they need to discover what they can do with it."

QWeb is conducting a web experiment, and anybody can take part in it
What Company Is Offering:
QWeb is conducting a web experiment, and anybody can take part in it! The experiment is simple, in fact, it's just a forum. There are forums all over the Internet today, but all impose restrictions and most are moderated by the site maintainers. This isn't how the rest of the world works though. In the real world there is no moderator hanging over conversations. People argue, people fight, people insult, but in the end everybody remains social. QWeb would like to know if this concept can work on the Internet too.
Here there are no rules as to what you can talk about, and no site maintainer is going to moderate your topics. You won't be banned and you won't have restrictions applied to your account, just like in the real world. All users are trusted and as such can delete any posting. This is a self-policed trust-driven environment, just like the streets you walk on every day. If you feel something shouldn't be there, remove it. Like in the real world, here you have no profile, no rating, no post-count - just a name and a message. Similarly, just like in the real world, some people are likely to abuse this trust so you must accept that the system could be misused. Every community has its idiots.
If the experiment proves a success, QWeb may develop this into a proper application. It will be considered a success if the system isn't too heavily abused and doesn't simply become another network for spam or virus distribution.
In accessing this experiment, you agree that QWeb cannot be held liable for the content submitted by you or any other user. You also understand that participating in, or accessing certain topics may violate a law in your country of residence and agree to take full responsibility for this.

In a July 2008 report titled Market Update: Open Source Databases, Forrester Research estimates the size of the open source database market including software licensing, technical support, and services will reach $1.2 billion by 2010. Noel Yuhanna, principal analyst states "More enterprises are deploying open source databases than ever before, with many planning mission-critical deployments in the coming years.
