Wanted.VC Digest # 10
This week's Wanted.VC digest is publishing the anniversary 1st issue. The best congratulations are your opinions on the submitted projects. Enjoy!
The authors of the Aloha RealEstate project are from an endangered group of philanthropists and altruists. The objective of their project is to save the money of those who decided to spend it on real estate.
The website’s work strategy is almost Robingudian: of the money that could be spent on a real estate agency, an average of $ 10-20 is spent on a service that actually takes on the functions of an agency. The author of the project, Georgy Knabe, explained how this could be. +++
The Sport2online project is intended for football fans who are ready to “watch” matches converted to text: the service broadcasts matches via SMS messages directly. The idea is not new - text commentators of matches have been alive and well for many months ( http: //www.eurosport. ru / , http://www.championat.ru/ , http://www.sports.ru/ ). In Sport2online - the traditional advantage of "brand new" - start the service, the authors were able to take into account all the mistakes and shortcomings of "old times." +++
The phrase " Geome - this is a service platform that provides everything necessary for the development and hosting of geolocation services ”is very informative. True, only for those who know what geolocation services, hosting, platforms are and why all this needs to be developed. Taking this into account, the creators of the project went to meet us and explained everything on their fingers: “Let's draw an analogy with building a house. Geome is the foundation, communications, building materials and drawing options. Any developer who wants to create a geolocation application can take the application template and configure it for his needs, or he can write a new one from scratch. ” +++
Suppose you’ve already come to read literature with the Kindle, morning news from the iPad, and mail from the laptop screen. The last resort of paper is official documents, and besides, traditional printed materials (say, your company's product catalog). The Deluxe Catalog does not yet know how to get rid of official “pieces of paper” . But he knows how to turn printed materials and electronic documents into beautiful and neat online catalogs. As usual, to the delight of environmentalists. +++
Do you like your TV? Besides jokes, do you like it?
He, of course, shows about a hundred television channels, reports to you exactly what you are watching - and in general, behaves like a good modern TV.
The authors of the project vEfire.ru his idea of what a "modern TV" is. A modern TV does not need anything other than access to the Internet: you connect the “box” to the network, specify the site address - and get at your disposal thousands of channels. All this is as modern as possible: without antennas, consoles and cable. +++
websites selling tickets to concerts, to put it mildly, a lot (remember at least www.songkick.com , www.eventful.com and http://www.jambase.com ).
The Gigographya project is not so different from its competitors: it is also an aggregator of musical events that allows you to purchase tickets for concerts, parties, festivals and so on. But with its own characteristics. +++
Video communication services have long been not one or two, but everything arrives and arrives in the regiment (recently on Wanted.VC we wrote about the VideoPara service).
A couple of days ago we learned about the next addition: the Blabman service announced itself , promising to connect everyone with everyone - so that everyone would be satisfied. +++
The AR23D project was invented in order to aesthetize a rather utilitarian thing - advertising.
The creators develop and license marketing and advertising solutions based on 3D augmented reality technology. You can use them on Android, Symbian, Windows, as well as iPhone and iPad. +++

Design Concept It occurred to the author of the service, Andrei Stepikov, when he was desperate to bookmark pages on which he really needed only a couple of phrases.
“The first decision that came to mind - to select only the necessary text and save it somewhere - immediately fell away - in almost 100% of cases it was a loss of formatting or the desired location of information, which immediately omitted its value for me. Further more interesting solutions were tried out - an extension for Firefox, which skillfully edited the page and saved the already modified version to the hard disk. It was fun exactly until the fifth save, when removing unnecessary items was simply too lazy. A deeper search for solutions to the problem did not produce the desired results, ”Andrei writes.
Well, the salvation of the indignant is known whose work it is. +++
Remember the shot from the movie “I, Robot”, where a scientist girl, being in the apartment of the hero Will Smith, is trying to turn off the roaring music center, ordering him “Deactivate!” Speaktoit creators decided to give human voice control. For this, a personal assistant is “prescribed” in your smartphone. Ask him for help will have to politely, humanly. +++
