Whereas Google helps find information fast in the virtual world, TRACE((e)) helps find things fast and lose them less in the real world. Its flagship offering, "egoIDs", facilitates this by creating and attaching digital "egos" or "identities" to physical things and locations --> "who says objects can't talk?"

TagSlides.com is an offshoot of http://web2.0slides.com which was an instant hit and showed up several "lists" of top web 2.0 apps and has been catching on with the social bookmarking communities. Our strategy page is at http://workontheweb.com/gameplan We are forming a virtual team and have several web designers and developers involved. We have registered over 80 "slides" themed sites. The basic concept is that you can filter a google search, a technorati search, a del.icio.us tag search etc and show the results as a "slide show". It is "hands free browsing" once the slide show starts you don't have to click. We're using an interstitial advertising model. Actively seeking team members.
