Chatisfy Your Search – chatvana.com

Sam — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:47:35 +0000

What it does:
Today’s popular search technologies offer passive set of results to users seeking information.Users have to consume the articles before finding the sought information and in cases, navigate many results before doing so. For unique questions, users usually resort to forums where they search and often post questions and wait for answers. There is a latency involved when there are more questions based on the answers. There is no interactive facility geared to answer specific search queries.

Chatvana (‘Chat’ + ‘Nirvana’) is a webservice that provides interactive connection between users seeking information/products/services and online providers offering the same. Chatvana is a real time lead generator for information/service/product providers and allows them to interact with their customers.

Chatvana is a free service for end users. End users can also anonymously use the service without needing to sign up. For business providers, the basic service is free.

How it beats the competition:
We have all had moments when interacting with someone about an article or piece of code, brings a new clarity. Chatvana is all about that.

Putting Blog Posts on a Map – Webtomap

Sam — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 15:19:44 +0000

What it does:
Webtomap lets users post content about any topic they like on a Google map. It’s like putting blog posts on a map. To keep the site convenient to navigate and prevent misuse like spam, some measures are taken. To search for specific subjects, the category structure and search function can be used. Large amounts of posts can be placed on the map because the posts are clustered to keep the map clean. Signing up is easy because you can create an account with Facebook, Twitter and Google. Webtomap is a Mashup that uses among others: Twitter connect, Facebook connect , WordPress and Google maps. The website is still in beta, but new users are welcome to sign up and use the service. The maximum number of posts is three a day to preserve the quality of posts. How users are going to use the service still has to be seen. It may be that users are going to use it as a local discussion forum or as a local news service. It is also possible to create maps with certain tags to start an interactive map around specific topics. Articles videos and photo’s can be placed on the map given they are related to the location where they are posted. Users can suggest third party services like video sites and other widgets to be integrated within Webtomap. If users find spam or other low quality content, they can report it with a mouse click and the post will be reviewed. All maps and articles on the website are easy to share on all major social networks.

How it beats the competition:
There are many Google maps services available on the web, but many of them are not very interactive. Most of them help you to find your way around, Some of them let you post reviews of location based services, but you are not free to post anything you want about any subject or location. Webtomap is a new service that makes maps more interactive and lets users post their photos, videos and articles on a public Google map. Users are able to comment on each other’s posts and give them a rating.

Other location services like Foursquare build their product around a specific niche, but Webtomap tries to be more like a meta geo-location service. It does not help you to find your way on vacation, but shows you what people care about in your home town. Users can post about the subjects they like on the location they like and other users can comment and interact. Since the site has just launched the number of posts is still very small, but when more people start using the service, this experiment might turn into a comprehensive database of geographically tagged content. When usage of the site increases the search function will also become much more useful because the number of tags in use will increase. Go and have a look if your topic of interest is already covered!

Remote Measurement Technology – Roofers411.com

Sam — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 17:26:00 +0000

What it does:
Roofers411 measures and diagrams roofs remotely for contractors and insurance adjustors. Our patent pending technology is the fastest and most accurate in the industry.

How it beats the competition:
Competitors charge customers $35 – $135 for a roof report so the customers only use the service when a roof is complex or too steep to safely and accurately measure by hand. This means statistically only see one out of 5 jobs.

Our disruptive innovation is to give this information away for free (advertisement driven) allowing us to reach the other 80% of the market that is untapped.

Our reports will grant advertisers unprecedented focus of their marketing dollars by reaching only their target market, at exactly the right moment, (just before they decide on products and services).
