Dating security

Secure Singles has developed a 'personal emergency notification system' for the dating world.

A tool that singles can use to protect themselves, Secure Singles allows users to store information on the people they're planning to meet. Before going on a date, they can set a text alert that will go to friends, family or the authorities, if the user doesn't check in to cancel it. The message, which is sent by email, instant message or sms, includes details on how to access stored information on the date: contact info, employer/occupation, photos, phone number, address, location of date, etc.

Users can also add a 'Secure Singles Seal' to their online profiles to ward off anyone with bad intentions, and schedule text messages to be sent to themselves during a date to offer an easy way out if they feel uncomfortable.

The service, which is currently free, was developed by Secure Networks, a team of safety-concious parents and single professionals who wanted to make it safer to meet online suitors offline. A sister service is 321notify.com, which isn't just for daters, but anyone who could use a bit of extra security.

According to a spokesperson for Secure Singles, there are more than 100 million single people living in the U.S. today and 40 million of them are using online dating and social networking communities. A service that ensures personal safety and peace of mind sounds like something those online communities should partner with or buy now! Time to start something similar in your own neck of the woods?

Tour Guide For Virtual Travels

Here's a very clever and very 'now' idea: a travel agency for virtual worlds. Synthravels is the first travel organization to offer a guide service to anyone who wants to tour highly-hyped virtual worlds like Second Life or World of Warcraft.

The increasing complexity of virtual worlds is making them more interesting, fun and potentially lucrative. But it's also creating a considerable threshold for newbies, especially for those who have little or no experience with online gaming. Compare it to snatching a tourist from his annual holiday in Myrtle Beach and dropping him in the back streets of Mumbai ;-)

Which is why it makes perfect sense for two savvy Italian entrepreneurs to set up a service that takes curious explorers by the hand and shows them the wonders of metaworlds. A customer registers with Synthravels, picks a destination and preferred day and hour for the trip. Within a few days, he or she receives an itinerary by email. To prepare, a visitor has to download any software needed for the virtual world and should also create an avatar. After logging in on the selected day and time, the visitor will find an expert guide waiting to show them the ropes, from the basics of maneuvering to finding elusive and exclusive virtual hotspots.

Tours and destinations are selected by Synthravels' staff: programmers, architects and experienced video gamers. Sightseeing excursions include 'Discover the Post Art Deco architecture of Paragon City', a shopping tour of Second Life, and a lastminute to Entropia Universe, including dinner with Deathifier, the legendary owner of Treasure Island.

Synthravels, which launched last week, welcomes skilled avatars to sign up as guides. Sounds like a great minipreneur gig for experienced gamers, especially for those who can offer added value by giving specialized tours. There's a substantial market for services like Synthravels, from parents who'd like to experience how their children are spending all their waking hours, to thousands of marketing and advertising execs who want to dive into youniversal branding.

creepupmytee XOXO lingerie.

XOXO
is a label popular with girls and women.
during my trip to Japan, i got into a lingerie shop called Northerly,
where they stock up on XOXO's lingerie,
and they have a customization service. too bad there isnt a site by them.
so basically i get a plain bra, which i got hot pink dont know why dont ask me since i dislike pink,
and i had them jewelled.
straps changed as well, from plain ones, to cross back. its really lovely,
the straps are criss-crossed, so from the back, it looks sport bra-ish.
and of course, the bottom of the lingerie set is jewelled too, small black crystals.

okay pictures speak well i figure,
am posting this because im trying to make headway for my lingerie business,
hopefully soon enough,
and this is what i aim to do, customize lingerie for women out there,
and well, in the long run, i do want to attempt bringing in different kinds of lace, straps and crystals too.

till then, show some love eh?

Back to school...

For me at least. I was hit with a massive dose of nostalgia last week when Jo & I went back to NYJC, where yours truly hailed from.

The average NYJC student hasn't changed much. Creative, smart and brimming with ideas. Yeah and all that mud jokes with our uniforms. Yea yea, tell me something new will ya?


<-- Having fun is an important goal! Something you can't do without during workshops. Fun!
And so, first impressions and Jo & I were thinking that these Biz Club students were really really passively quiet.

Maybe because I looked scary. Although I can't imagine how. Or perhaps they were distracted by Jo.

At any rate, they soon warmed up to us (as us to them) and pretty soon, it was work work and fun!
The dynamic group Happy Feat impressed with their bubbly enthusiasm, interesting business idea, and their ad's concept was novel. I would put the video up. But it was so peppered with uncontrollable laughter by the presenting team that I shall not tax the random reader's mind in trying to understand the ad.

I always did like creative and enthusiastic. So keep it up Happy Feat!


Other notable mentions include the students' realistic financial plan for their project, especially the guys from Happy Tree Frens, who meticulously worked out their plan a column of the time, taking every possible cost in consideration.

And the most amazing thing? The Biz Club dudes/dudettes were fine-tuning their business plans even 1 week after the workshop and calling us up for some advice to touch up their business plans.

Their site is http://nyjc.biz

And keep the entrepreneurial flame burning! :)
