Eduglu
Eduglu is a hosted social learning app that makes it easy for teachers and students to post insights, point out good content, ask pertinent (and impertinent) questions, and share what they’re working on with fellow students. Built on the open-source CMS Drupal, Eduglu is more customizable, dynamic and social than other online learning tools for classrooms—it’s like Facebook for your classroom.
BekoZone
BekoZone.com is the first online barter/trade match-making platform. Meaning, Beko connects you to the person who wants what you have, and has what you want. It’s the funnest way to trade your stuff for cooler stuff.
icount
Icount is a political social networking website that informs its users on political issues, current events, legislation, party and candidate positions and the voting records of their elected officials. Icount also provides its users with engagement opportunities with their social networks, candidates and their elected officials as well as measures the impact of those engagements.
Corner Dives around 8:00 p.m., get food, and then each company heads to a corner, and anyone interesting in learning more or helping dives right in with them. General networking in highly energized setting.
