What seems like a good idea, is in practice, unfair and unreliable. Yes, reviews from an unbiased traveler seems great. However, TripAdvisor fails to screen reviews, which allows personal vendettas to appear as \\&quot;reviews\\&quot;. Though they claim to allow properties to resond, in reality TripAdvisor throws a seemingly never ending series of obstacles in the way, claims to require a review of the response, and then fails to publish that response. Calls, emails, faxes are neither answered nor responded to. So, when wondering why a property didn\\\'t respond to a se... More >>

Sometime I read someone congratulating ebay on its classifieds business trend mentioning it goes in line with its core business as opposed to going after phone companies.<br /> <br /> I disagree with that opinion.

Sometime I read someone congratulating ebay on its classifieds business trend mentioning it goes in line with its core business as opposed to going after phone companies.<br /> <br /> I disagree with that opinion.

The guy(Craig Newmart) is offering the service for near free<br /> <br /> And Who plays to lose?<br /> <br /> Internet Users have long perceived classifieds as the \"Internet Bonus\" to the average user. <br /> It has come to be sterotypically perceived as Free .And will remain so.<br /> The French site Annonces spent years trying to monetize this damn thing without success.And there has been thousands of similar experiences. As if Ebay never made a simple market research(which confirmed the other commentator\'s point that they did it more out of revenge).<br /> <br /> Kijiji will eventually go down as a loser and ebay should try to stop the bleeding early and remove this lame sheep from the market before it is badly wounded and its malaise spread to ebay itself. << Less

Nanosight has a patented low cost optical nano-particle tracking and detection technology. It is not only positioned as a category-killing device company, but also sits at the heart of a broad range of innovative new applications that are capable of facilitating breakthroughs in diagnostic, material development and other particle detection applications.<br /> <br /> It first generation product the LM10 uses a laser light source to illuminate nano-scale particle. Particles appear individually as point-scatterers moving under Brownian motion. The system can instantly recognise and quantify the size distribution of particles and can highlight agglomerates and contaminants.<br /> Results are displayed as a frequency size distribution graph and output to spreadsheet. In addition, video clips of images may be captured and archived for future reference.<br /> <br /> This platform in itself is competitive on a like-for-like basis with alternative, but much more expensive nano-particle detection technologies. However, successive generations of Nanosight instruments are adding additional capabilities that ensure the devices will be unrivalled in their capabilities.<br /> <br /> As well as scientific instrument sales, broader applications include homeland security, medical, defence, water, food & agriculture, particles sizing, nano-particle safety etc. These markets are potentially huge and all lack viable sensing devices. <br /> <br /> The management team is excellent. << Less
