| Black Shoals Planetarium | |
|---|---|
| When you are trading in stocks and shares, you may not know that you are taking part in an exhibition at the Tate Britain, which is updated constantly, in real time, with data fed from all the world's major stock markets. This is an extremely ambitious project which has brought together artists, scientists and engineers. It can also be seen as a new way of mapping financial data and following the performance of your favourite stocks through the night sky! Please visit www.blackshoals.net for more information. |  |
| Ciao.com | |
| A website which has been going strong in Germany, Spain, France and Italy before opening in the UK. It claims to be "the voice of the consumer". An opportunity to exchange ideas and give recommendations on just about any product or service, and get paid for it. You can get 50p credited to your Ciao account when you register and write your first opinion, and 10p for each approved opinion you submit thereafter. Please visit www.ciao.com for more information. | |
| Going Platinum | |
| What most of you may not realise is that for all the time you spend on line you are generating a good deal of cash for someone else, even if you are not actually buying anything or filling out any forms. This website has been set up to reverse all that! There are two levels of membership, one active and one passive, and you may elect to devote your earnings to charity, if you prefer. Unicef and Save the Children are just two of the organisations supported. Please visit www.goingplatinum.com/member/thepowerisyours for more information. | |
| Tiscali Microportal | |
| Tiscali is possibly the main Italian internet service provider, and has just launched Microportal, a new tool-bar which its subscribers can add to their web browsers to aid navigation. Whilst they are reading a web page, Microportal automatically suggests other sites dealing with similar subjects and pops up a banner appropriate to the context they are viewing. Thanks to this banner, Tiscali can then reimburses its clients the connection costs: for the equivalent of �6.50 at any one time � up to a maximum of �33 per month. At the moment, credit can only be used towards new internet traffic, but soon Tiscali subscribers will be able to spend their points on various e-commerce sites. Please visit http://microportal.tiscalinet.it (if you can read Italian!) for more information. |
