Loc.is is a short URL service for street addresses, and GPS coordinates. By varying the length of the hash you limit the precision of the address. Using the full URL path will define exactly where you are, however limiting it to 5 or 6 characters will only tell people which city you are in. For each location we will try to show you a few interesting events, facts or … What would you like to know about a given location?

ming.ly -We are missing opportunities to build relationships every day. Vital information is lost in the endless avalanche of emails, tweets, and calls from the 100s of people the average person is connected to. For example, when we fail to reach out to a new contact within a few days of meeting, they will forget us. OR, when we fail to congratulate a key client on a corporate victory we have missed a golden opportunity to develop the relationship. We need not only reminders, but also relevant reasons to keep in touch, or we will not develop deep relationships. Your network is your most valuable asset. Social CRM will protect and grow it.

I’m Running Late - You’re in your car. You’re running late for a meeting. You forgot your headset, and you know you shouldn’t text while driving — but you really want to let the people you’re meeting with that you are running late.
Enter “RunningLate” – the iPhone App that uses Twilio (voice messenger) and SMS to broadcast your current location and your ETA – with just two “taps” – while you keep your eyes on the road!

bidsie.com – We love to shop as much as you do. The current online auction process can be rough and unforgiving. It is filled with strangers selling products that may be bogus or at the very least not in the condition described.
Social Auction Buying System:
1) Bid on items and get a massive discount from 40%-80%. We are the sellers of the brand new items so there is no hassle with bidding on used items from strangers.
2) Buy bidsie packs and place bids for $0.75 at a time. The winner of the auctions walks off with a huge discount.
3) If you bid and don’t win the auction you can still use the money to buy other items at their retail value.
4) If you get a fantastic deal and Tweet or share with your friends on social network sites you will get an additional discount when you make a purchase. If you share your friend code with your network you can earn free bidsie packs!
