    It can be overwhelming to find the news and content you want when you have to sort through the torrent of information that floods the internet. Whatâ€s more, if youâ€re a news tracking professional or small business owner, managing this information overload can cost you time and money.

    This is why we developed Parse.ly, an adaptive web-based application that discovers your unique interests to filter, prioritize, and even suggest relevant content from countless news and blog sources across the web.

    Magntize is a group of guys who have a dream: a dream of thousands of introductions. It all began at a small coffee shop in Texas where Dave Onkels began pitching the idea of personal websites for everyone. Sure we all have blogs and accounts with various social networking sites. There are places to post photos, upload videos, chat with friends, edit your resume, or update your status... These sites are fostering converstions among folks all over the world, but if someone wanted to know more than 140 characters about you where would you tell them to begin?

    A little known entreprenuer from Austria gets it. If you want to get to know Thomas Marban check out his site - it's elegantly designed, simple, and hyperlinked like crazy. It's one of the best online introductions of someone we've ever witnessed. "Why doesn't everyone have one of these?" We wondered to ourselves." If the web is a converstion who is doing the introducing?

    Now there are a few important elements to a good introduction, it needs to be clear, it needs to be brief, and most of all it needs to be authentic. If you're a small business consultant from Iowa with a passion for steak we don't want people thinking you're a yoga instructor from California with a passion for spinach. We think you'll agree that clarity is essential. If your first crush was a kindergarten teacher named Ms. Golf, that's great. However, the first time you meet someone may not be the best time to launch into your pre-pubescent love life. Brevity is a good thing. Finally, it would be awesome if you graduated first in your class from Princeton University before accepting the CMO position at Apple... unless you really didn't. In that case we'd rather get to know the real you, so be authentic. A good introduction can't do miracles or make everyone like you, but it should reveal the awesomeness that is you. When we first set out on this journey we thought we were making cool looking websites that gave people ego boosts. "Look at my hot site!" they'd exclaim, "Its completely unnecessary, but it's there just in case someone googles me!" Now we realize that's missing the point. This isn't primarily about people with self esteem issues... This is about making introductions. Magntize introduces you to the world.

    Bodega is a social auction application that brings millions of active users from multiple social networking platforms together, allowing them to bid, buy and communicate with each other online. Bodega's auction and messaging system enables users to sell, trade and share real and virtual goods, with each other, from across the globe, no matter what social network they use.

    Bodega is the first social application that allows users to interact and communicate with each other outside the boundaries of their respective social network logins and user profiles. The Bodega application has been launched on Bebo, Facebook and MySpace platforms with engineering under way to include OpenSocial, iPhone and further social and mobile integration. This means that users can communicate no matter what social network they reside on, and sell and bid for items across social network platforms.

    The distribution of Bodega auctions is fueled by established user behaviors like sharing and posting to profiles - auction participants power Bodega's growth by sharing likes for goods, brands, entertainers, movies, games and beyond. Bridging the gap between users and communities on these platforms, and allowing them to communicate without boundaries, is Bodega's `secret sauce' - it dramatically enhances the social networking user experience and creates communities of buyers where there were none. Auction listings are free for users, and users can even engage in buying without spending any real cash by completing incentive-based advertising offers to earn Bodega currency.

    All auction transactions are settled through the Bodega Proprietary Virtual Currency, the "Bodega Bill." Users can buy Bodega Bills directly from Bodega through all major credit cards, PayPal and mobile payment or they can earn free Bodega Bills through our incentive offer partners. Bodega items can be bought and sold via silent auctions, wherein users set the maximum price they are willing to pay and the application automatically increases bids, as necessary, up to that maximum, or via "Buy it Now" which allows users to instantly purchase items at a set price. The exchange of goods using virtual currency is a proven model, Facebook alone is already generating $50 million in virtual gift sales, and games and application running on the Facebook platform are selling much more. The total virtual goods economy is estimated to currently be around $200 million.

    Bodega will generate revenues from several online and offline sources including:

    * Revenue share of partner/merchant transactions (individual auction transactions are free)

    * Direct sales of virtual goods unique to the Bodega experience

    * Online advertising - brand sponsorships, CPM/CPC banners, affiliate marketing

    * Selling analytic data around user behavior, buying habits and patterns to marketers, brands and retailers

    Bodega auctions are unique in that they bring ecommerce to the social web, rather than forcing users to interact on a single destination site. As the social web has evolved, destination sites like eBay and Amazon have, thus far, missed the opportunity to enable social networking audiences to shop and sell from sites where they are already active participants. Bodega's groundbreaking approach embraces the concept of `fishing where the fish are', reaching existing networks of people and directly meeting their ecommerce wants and needs.
