Running on Solaris 10 Containers, the overall stability of our system is superior. Faster reboots through Solaris Containers have meant that major transitions which previously took hours can now be literally done in seconds.”

ZadspaceZadspace is a Sun Startup Essentials program member with a new direct advertising system that prints full-color targeted promotions onto labels placed on the outside of shipped packages. Its proprietary algorithm analyzes data from an e-commerce or mail-order transaction to determine the geographic, psychographic, and demographic profile for a given consumer. That data is used to generate a personalized and relevant promotion for the recipient. Its like a personalized billboard for the package recipient, said Zadspaces president Todd Outten.

Over the last few years blogging has grown exponentially, with various estimates of over 75 million blogs in existence today. But the problem lies with the tools that bloggers use. Most people have used news readers such as Google's service. This is still quite a "techie" product, however, as the user needs to understand how to add RSS stream feeds to the reader. But newsreaders still have an even greater major flaw, how do you read, comment and post to multiple blogs? This is the flaw that Fav.or.it comprehensively eliminates. No longer do you need to be a "techie" with multiple tabs open in a browser and understand RSS feeds. Fav.or.it brings ease of use and simplicity to the whole blogging experience. In short you can read blogs, post comments, write blogs and re-publish content all from the same platform. |
