sree — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:37:26 +0000

How it beats the competition:
Unlike most forum-like sites online, Peerdea is focused on providing constructive feedback. On most sites, feedback usually comes in the form of “this is good” or “this is bad”. On Peerdea, such feedback is discouraged; giving helpful feedback is the goal.

Crowd Sourcing Guest Music Choices For Wedding Planners and Event Organizers – StereoPill

sree — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 12:46:35 +0000

What it does:
StereoPill is a web application that offers wedding planners and event organizers the ability to crowd source their guest’s music taste before the big day. The application was created to empower guests to vote on what songs they want to hear, prior to the wedding or other large party. With the crowd-sourced data, StereoPill supplies DJ’s, event planners, or anyone with valuable insight into what individuals want pertaining to music selections.

How it beats the competition:
StereoPill is different because it’s the only application of its kind. Individuals have an understanding of what’s popular based on music boards and online content but they have no direct way of knowing what they’re guest want. By adding the ability of social interaction people can ensure a successful event hours before arrival.

Anyone can list their business or organization on Infoafricanow.com, along with its website. We have over 15,000 listings so far in less than six months. Our goal is to be the leading source of information for the continent of Africa.

How it beats the competition:
Infoafricanow.com came about as a result of lack of information on Africa on the Internet. Less than 1 per cent of the content discussed and written about on the web is directly about Africa. We wish to fill this gap by providing a portal which conveys relevant and necessary information on Africa unlike any ever seen on the web.
