Traveling on the Geometka.com website , next to your own home you can find the most unexpected things - from "Scottish fold kittens" to car tires.
Geometka is the most common interactive map with free ads on it. We find the desired area, sort ads by subject - and study the proposals. +++
Do you have a site - excellent, beautiful and visited site. So visited that you cannot sleep peacefully - tormented by the thought that it is about to collapse from the influx of visitors.
Murphy’s law assures us: the site will collapse, it will surely collapse. And of course, at that moment when you will be on vacation, in deep sleep or somewhere else where you can find out about what happened, only by making some efforts.
These efforts were undertaken by the authors of Webpinger.RU. +++
So far, the word “startup” is firmly associated with the word “investment”. And "investment", in turn, is with the word "money" (although Wanted.VC is trying to convert them into "Mercedes").
The authors of the MakeStUp service decided to invest in projects not in rubles, but in deeds. The result of their ideas should be an online startup manager, thanks to which startups will be able to work on themselves as efficiently as possible. +++
If something is pleasantly moving inside you with the words “stock quotes”, “real GDP”, “exchange rate” and “federal budget”, you don’t need to read further, just go to the Statistica On-line website and the following fifteen minutes to devote to his study.

Studies of the creators of the AppScale project showed that from 2010 to 2011 the number of applications for social networks that entered the foreign market through publishers decreased by approximately 10% (from 95% to 70-80%). According to the authors, the tendency for developers to independently enter foreign networks will continue, moreover, they will become widespread.
The main condition for such a turn of events is the availability of technology that would minimize costs — time and material — and risks (ideally to zero). Voila, AppScale - a service that allows developers of social networks to independently release projects in a variety of social networks - from vkontakte.ru to renren.com. +++
If you ask Google about the "real estate", Google will find an enviable erudition: 219 million answers (not counting the rippling red marks GoogleMap).
