If you play your cards right you might win without losing that much money. And you're right John, think of how much money the site is making :D. This idea really is brilliant and in my opinion i don't think that it is trying to scam the bidders. They weren't forced to bid in the first place.

Quite a bit late i know but i just wanted to point out that Knewton appears to be far different than PrepMe. They dont have a no-tutor version which means you learn under a tutor, the course plan continuously adapts to my performance/improvement and they seem to have lined up quite a bunch of "Star-Teachers"

Better than PrepMe no??

Another invoicing option is Time59 (www.time59.com). It’s targeted at solo professionals and is a great solution if you don’t need (or want to pay for) the multi-user capability of Freshbooks. Bottom line: If you are solo and bill by the hour it is definitely worth a look. The first 30 days are free.

Swoopo is good if you win, but if you look at the business model, the people that own it are making a fortune. As example, each bid is .75 which goes in their pocket and if it increments the item by .01 for every dollar bid value they make $7.50.
So if an item sells $350.00 Swoopo makes $26,500.00 or 35,000 bids at 0.75 each.
I guess what I'm saying is it could be a very addictive and expensive way to bid.

As an abstract concept, wow goldlove usually refers to a deep.

I saw that (prepme.com) earlier... thanks for the comment!

I'm pretty sure pixily would win anyway but knewton is just a rip off of prepme.com - they are already doing that. It's not new.

Everyone and their mother is on Facebook. When you are between 17 and 28, do you really want to be on the same site as your Mother, Father, Aunt, Uncle and in some cases your Grandparents? This site isn't competing. It's for people with an edu. only and has things Crackbook doesn't.

Great post. I think a service that would aggregate all of my personal online media (Flickr, Youtube, blog posts, etc.) and let me organize it (and archive it) and put it in a timeline could be cool and valuable. Am I giving away a secret? ;)

I like the looks on icharts, but you can get the same visuals, same interactivity, and then add real-time analytics using www.youcalc.com. An example I found at youcalc.com was the exact same olympic medals chart widget that ichart demoed, but on youcalc it runs on real-time data and allows for more analytics: http://www.youcalc.com/apps...

FYI it was my Blackberry that enabled me to keep in touch during the peak of the storm. the connection was robust enough to upload small videos. New Orleans is recovering without any problems.

Re: trooQ.com or eBay? I’ll stick with eBay.

Will — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:23:34 -0000

Very good point, but what if they are a friend of a friend, or perhaps a friend of a friend of a friend. That may not be something that you would get an e-mail about, but perhaps so.

Nonetheless, thanks so much for the coverage and if you get a chance, sign up and give it a spin.

Thanks,
Will

SV — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:54:23 -0000

But if I want to buy from a friend I won't use eBay, trooQ, etc. In my case, if my friend is going to sell something to their friends, I'll get an email on a distro and I'll probably just call them up to setup the exchange.. no need to use an outside site to buy from a friend. Again, only my opinion! Best of luck!

Thanks for the write up, glad you liked the widget. As for your rationale for buying on eBay, we understand that completely and we build upon it with the introduction of trusted connections. In time, our sellers too will have the longevity and higher number of sales. With trooQ though, you have an increased chance of buying from someone you either know or is a friend of a friend and you have a better sense that you will get what you think you are getting. It is the whole trust factor that is missing in current marketplaces.

Re: FMC where are you?

whoa...a lil scary that busboys is stalking you.

A question from a neophyte though, is FMC necessary if there is improved cell coverage? Or is this some sort of smart-dial between cell and wi-fi?
