abInventio is an invention factory that uses math, technology, and hard work to make life a bit easier. As you can see, we spend our time building products, not a fancy corporate website. You can read about us here, read our blog or read below for a sampling of the solutions we've cooked up:
Have you ever wished it was easier to find out everything about a person, or find which social networks they're in? Just request access to Whozat, The People Search Engine. Whozat beat Google and every other major search engine by almost 3 to 1 in relevance of people search results in a blind test for a 3rd party-compiled list of people, was recently recognized by TechCrunch20 as one of the 100 hottest new start-ups in the planet, and has topped AltSearchEngines' The New Top 10 list of search engines in stealth now for two months in a row...you wouldn't believe what we've discovered about some of you!
On another line of thought (pun intended), how would you like to avoid waiting in line at the grocery store, for a seat at a restaurant, for a haircut at your stylist's, for your favorite ride at an amusement park? You can! Just visit QLess, a finalist in the 2007 Supernova Conference.
Tired of reading news irrelevant to you, simply voted up by residents of another part of the world? HoundWire is a community-powered news site that serves each user news relevant to where he/she lives, providing residents of every county in the USA with their own customized news. It's also an outlet for all local writers, journalists, and opinionated citizens to reach their relevant audience.
If you are, or want to be, in the business of selling services or products via a website, you should check out The SEM Experts. The SEM Experts helps companies make sure their outstanding services and products actually standout on the Web through the application of some fairly wild search engine marketing technologies, techniques, and translation services. For example, did you know there are over 16 million Hispanics online? The SEM Experts can dial your site in to make sure they find you.
$112 billion of $295 billion of U.S. ad spending is wasted. How do you know yours won't? Wouldn't it be great if you could go to market with a proven message? PREPROVE tests your messages rapidly, inexpensively and quantitatively. I want to stop wasting ad money!
Then there's 1ofthese. Its patent-pending processes and technologies will let eBay Sellers make the auction experience much more efficient for their customers by helping them get what they want without having to stay up all night placing bids. You can view a video explaining how 1ofthese can help you, view the 1ofthese development site by clicking here, but a shiny new beta version will be available shortly, so check back periodically to track its progress or click here to be alerted of its launch.
Wouldn't it be great if technology could help you figure out anyone's reputation, find the most reputable practitioner in any field, or help you decide how much attention to pay another person's opinion on any particular subject? Check out REPcloud, currently a Facebook app.
