Internet Advertising Services ZEDO.com is one of a handful of companies pioneering the next wave in online advertising. They offer a variety of services to websites, advertisers and networks, but specifically, they provide software that intuitively loads advertising on websites specifically designed to appeal to viewers of that page, all within confines established by both the website owner and the advertising base. Tech Support Zolved.com is a fairly straight-forward concept that makes you wonder why no one had thought of it before. The general idea is that for every technical problem, there's someone who knows the answer (a guru). At it's core, Zolved is just about pairing these two people, by marrying search technology with social networking. They provide a format for users to ask difficult technical questions. Then, the site first tries to identify websites that have the answer. But the cool thing is that gurus can also register with Zolved and can offer their help with solving the problem. Zolved also helps identify local businesses or professionals to help with the problem. Retail Shopping.com is one of the world's premier comparison shopping websites. Part of the value of Shopping.com is it's connections and partnerships to other retail and consumer related websites. They operate the consumer review website, Epinions.com, which allows for unbiased reviews to be piped into Shopping.com's framework. They also provide expert reviews from such websites as Cnet.com and About.com. Shopping.com is an eBay company, which also owns the online payment site, PayPal. Cooking AbbyDodge.com is a companion website for popular food writer and instructor Abby Dodge.
