Aspiring entrepreneurs / Entrepreneurs in UK, StreetEntrepreneurs is a place where you can come, share and learn about entrepreneurship. I attended the street entrepreneurs meet twice and it was really informative. Thanks to Alan, Bruce, David and Jo-Anne for organising meet ups. The meet will happen every second Wednesday of the month. The next meeting will happen on 11th of August 2010 at All-Bar-One, St Vincent Street at West Nile Street, Glasgow, you can contact jo-anne@ suzy@ alan@ bruce@ david@streetentrepreneurs.com to register with opt-in mailing list.

Yesterday, I attended a session about protecting your idea in the pre-patent phase. Thanks to Alan who taught us an unconventional way without investing any enough money to protect the idea which was really helpful. Though it was not foolproof idea, but it was an idea that can worth try.

Finally, I found some interesting thing yesterday, the majority of participants were females. It was really interesting and surprising for me that more females are taking their career path as entrepreneurship.

myZingo e-commerce services Pvt Ltd launched its flagship offering
www.buytheprice.com this month. Buytheprice is an online B2C shopping portal
that is built on research of consumer behavior and cutting edge technology -
E Commerce 2.0. This is the first time in India that E-commerce 2.0 has been
used in an online shopping portal.

With E-Commerce 2.0, buytheprice plans to introduce a completely new concept
of online “social” shopping along with providing a fast, easy and secure
shopping experience. The site will provide enhanced value proposition to the
consumer and give him more reasons to choose online shopping over physical
shopping.

Using E-commerce 2.0, buytheprice can track the demand for a product. The
higher the demand for a product, the lesser the price becomes. The advantage
of this is that an individual consumer benefits from many others who intend
to make the similar purchase. This revolutionary technology would help map
the real time demand and supply which can offer better savings for the
consumer
Another important aspect of buytheprice.com is the use of twitter as one of
the customer care channels. Customers can make enquiries and raise tickets
by tweeting on @btpcare, which is also a first in India.
Currently the website has the 10 best deals that span across categories,
where one can be assured of the best price on the product. Later, it would
scale up with dedicated 10 deals for each category, as and when the demand
is shown by the people. Rather than taking an approach of opening a portal
with thousands of SKUs, buytheprice.com prefers to start with fewer but very
effective deals and scale up.
myZingo is founded by Ranjith Boyanapalli, who formerly headed the eTail SBU
at eYantra Industries Ltd and is a name associated with the online retail
business in India. He is an alumni of IIM Indore.Tharachand Suryadevara and
Jagdish Kothapalle, co-founders of myZingo come with an IT expertise.

Adobe air applications are gaining popularity by the day and its R is intended to be a versatile runtime environment, as it allows existing Flash, Actionscript or HTML and JavaScript code to be used to construct a more traditional desktop-like program. Adobe positions it as a browser-less runtime for rich Internet applications that can be deployed onto the desktop, rather than a fully-fledged application framework. The differences between each deployment paradigm provides both advantages and disadvantages. For example, a rich internet application deployed in a browser does not require installation, while one deployed with AIR requires the application be packaged, digitally signed, and installed to the user’s local file system. However, this provides access to local storage and file systems, while browser-deployed applications are more limited in where and how data can be accessed and stored.^[7] In most cases, rich internet applications store users’ data on their own servers, but the ability to consume and work with data on a user’s local file system allows for greater flexibility.
