Not inspiring when you have a typo on a features / pricing page.

1. Immense http://www.immen.se/ is a network that provides online video publishers with the capability to use contextual ads in videos.

Nah, I don’t create video!

2. Toufee http://www.toufee.com/ is a web based editor that allows you to create and publish flash movies and presentations online.

Nah, I don’t that much.

3. Veeker http://veeker.com/veeker/ is a service that lets you and your friends communicate instantly using the video cameras in your mobile phones.

Nah, No friends!

4. mTextbox http://www.mtextbox.com/ is a service that enables you to upload text files that you can read on your mobile phone.

Nah, why would I want to do that?

5. Tabblo http://www.tabblo.com/ is a service that lets you upload your photos and create albums that you can share with other people.

Nah, Another one?

6. MediaFile http://www.mediafire.com/ is a service that lets you upload unlimited size files also simultaneously.

Nah, Another one?

7. Huddle http://www.gohuddle.com/ is a hosted service that offers virtual workspaces called ‘huddles’, which can be used to manage projects, share and review documents, monitor timelines and discuss work across the members of the group.

Maybe, if cheap enough, it might be good for any ad hoc group to exploit.

8. Freenigma http://www.freenigma.com/ is a service that adds privacy technology (with strong e-mail encryption) to your webmail service.

Winner, This can be used by everyone in today’s era of snoopy gubamint.

9. Wridea http://www.wridea.com/ is project management tool that allows you to create a page for each project and different categories for each work type.

Maybe, ditto above, it might be good for an ad hoc group to exploit.

10. LocalHostr http://beta.localhostr.com/ is a service that allows you to upload and store any type of file up to 20MB.

Maybe, duplicates other big file store and share site, need to know what the limits are. There have to be limits don’t there? Or, does it do something fancy?

Is this the way the human race ends?

Not with government genocide? Not with the intergenerational war over social security benefits? Not with depopulation by sex selection?

No, we talk ourselves into sterility by cell phone!

Micro-Finance: A Way Out of Poverty
by Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D.
Senior Fellow in Economics

***Begin Quote***

Since those early beginnings, Yunus and the Grameen Bank have financed literally millions of small projects. A $50 loan allows a woman to buy chickens so she can sell eggs. As the chickens multiply, she has more eggs to sell. Eventually she can sell the chicks as well. The New York Times reported on one woman in India who started with a $50 loan and a 20-chicken farm. She now has $2,000 in borrowing power, a huge sum for her community. Overall, 98 percent of loans are repaid.

gubamint! How could it possibly succeed?

Freedom. Honesty is inherent in the human condition. It’s in the genes.

We can beat poverty!

There will still be poor people, but there will be prosperous poor people.

And, no government overhead. No government graft. Just peaceful markets.

Total time spent researching and buying a car: Four hours over a three day period. Total time spent negotiating: none. And I believe I got a better price than if I had tried negotiating with the dealers directly.

May be I’ll try that next time.
