We posted a social media advertising firm sometime back, and today again we are posting 84ideas, another social media advertising firm.
This itself states the growing importance of advertising of this form on web.
Although 84ideas has decent portfolio of clients, there is one thing that worries us. We did some research on 84ideas and couldn’t track their presence on very famous social networks as Ning and Bebo, which itselfs put some doubt in our minds.

Social Media, a still very less known term to Indians, is growing at an alarming rate. MediaRefined, a new service provider, claims to assist in branding using these tools, though it can prove helpful only if it can create a brand for itself.
One thing to note, the company’s site is really well designed and makes a impression by the very first looks.

Besides its social network, Meezoog also plans to offer Facebook and OpenSocial applications that allow users to estimate the nature of their connections with their friends, even if they aren’t on Meezoog’s network.
This cross-network analysis is probably the company’s best shot at success . This platform is empowered by the trust mechanism to allow the social validation of users’ representation on those sites.
It is an invite only social club with a monthly fee to help it remain elite.

If you would like to be matched with a co-rider of a certain gender, just let us know! You can state your choice as either a preference or a requirement or skip this altogether if you don’t care and just want to save some cash.
Getting started is very easy. All you have to do is Log in to your MyHitchsters account, Simply input your flight time into the site’s database, and Hitchsters will try to match you with a co-rider based on your preferences. Contact information is then given out to both parties, via email or text message.
A partnering car service calls each party to arrange the ride.
If you are sharing a ride to the airport, then you will only be matched with someone else who is leaving from your area to go to the same airport. If you are sharing a ride from the airport, you will only be matched with someone who is on the same flight (no worries about late flights) and going to the same area you are.
After your trip, you will have an opportunity to evaluate your co-rider, and the limo company, with a “thumbs-up” or “thumbs-down” rating.
