When you’re on the road, presenting to groups or conducting seminars or workshops carrying around audio/visual equipment can be a real pain.
And renting them from the facility you’re using can be outrageously expensive…
Meeting Tomorrow is a company that delivers – either same day or overnight – to any facility (just about) in the US almost any audio or visual equipment you need at great prices.
The cost savings /time savings / and hassle savings alone are worth the price paid. This is not only a great idea for seminar hosts and presenters, but it’s a great business model.
What other kinds of equipment can you provide for rent on a daily basis to other businesses that may only need it for a short time in your area or across the country?

What about returning the equipment?
No problem. The company provides pre-paid FedEx labels (a la the Netflix model). Just pack everything back in the boxes they came in and slap the FedEx label on it. FedEx picks it up at your location and you’re done. No back-breaking work required.
This is a pretty neat idea:
Kidzania is an an amusement park that gives children ages 2 through 15 the chance to try on up to 70 different career options and get a taste for real-world commerce in a pint-sized replica city.
They offer all the hustle and bustle of big city life, with buildings and shops and pedestrian-filled streets. Under the supervision of adult instructors, kids can try their hand at police work, firefighting, medicine, banking, pizza and fast-food joints, utilities and public services, fashion and retail, TV and radio, newspaper journalism.
The role-playing list goes on and on. To reward them for their hard work, children earn salaries in “Kidzos” —the official currency of Kidzania—which they can spend on goods and services throughout the park. And since a penny saved is a penny earned, they’re encouraged to put their Kidzos into bank accounts which they can access through special ATMs.
With parks are open in Mexico and Japan and new locations slated to open in Jakarta and Dubai. Kidzania’s blend of edutainment is quickly becoming a worldwide success.
What’s really cool is that the concept parks get a lot of interest from corporate ’sponsors’ who I’m sure pay dearly for the opportunity.
They get the opportunity to introduce their brands—and their trades—to the younger set through a unique interactive experience. Entrepreneurs looking to invest big in a hot franchise may want to take a look! Same goes for any food or toy brands looking for alternative marketing avenues.

Free incoming faxes… free conference calls… free voice mail…
I just signed up yesterday and I can’t believe they are giving all this stuff away for free!
It’s pretty easy to use (via a web dashboard), and they give you a fax number that is unique, right away.

The only thing you can’t do is send faxes with it. But I just use my computer fax to send stuff… and the free number they give you doesn’t tie up my office line.
I think it’s a good deal

This has to be one of the coolest tools I’ve seen online.
You probably have one or more of these already installed on your web browser.
What am I talking about?
A “toolbar”… I have the ‘Google toolbar’… the ‘Yahoo toolbar’ and a few others.
Google and Yahoo embed their ‘logos’ right into the toolbar. A great way to stay ‘top of mind’ withyour customers and subscribers.
But the technology to create your own toobar is a bit complicated for the average webmaster… until now.
Now you can create your own ‘community toolbar’ just like the big boys…
A company called Conduit is making it easy for webmasters to create their own community toolbar.
And… look at the great featires you can add to your toolbar:
