Become a partner in a huge web 2.0 site

The huge contextual platform LinkedWords, we are covering and using since its launch back in July 2006, went out this Saturday (March the 10th) with an ad in the The Economist looking for investors!

Below is an extraction from the page as found over here: http://linkedwords.com/admin/investors.html

LinkedWords.com™ is a unique and innovative concept built upon massive web 2.0 contextual platform. With 38 Million English words, phrases and whole sentences built-in, which web sites use to get contextually linked with, it aims to maximize the contextual linking on web.

Currently the platform is rapidly growing** and reshaping the way web sites do links on web by shifting the focus from off-text links (links outside the content / simple links) to in-text links (links in the context / contextual links). By linking strategic words in the text, web sites connect in a contextual way to LinkedWords.com's platform and to other sites with the same content, which results in dramatically increased web visibility and precisely targeted visitors for the sites involved. Our ambitious vision for the future is to start helping the common web users find information in the context of the subject they are reading by clicking on the same contextually... linked words.

We launched in July 2006 and since then the site had tremendous growth and the last month (February '07) it ended up with:

• More than 38 Million static pages;
• More than 5 Million+ page views;
• 1 Million+ visits;
• 200,000+ unique visitors;
• 226,000+ back links according to Yahoo!;
• 30,000+ contextual links (in-text linked words);
• 6/10 Google PageRank™;
• 300,000+ indexed pages;
• Alexa Ranking in the range of 8,000/16,000, the highest so far was 4,888;
• Quantcast measured traffic ~270,000 uniques/month.

The company has its own well-established back-end IT firm based in the European Union
Interested?

Silicon Valley still the best for innovations!

From NYTimes: "Just ask Sim Wong Hoo. About seven years ago, I met Mr. Sim in Singapore, where he was born and was then living. He talked about the rising creativity of Singaporeans and with a flourish, as if to dramatically make his point, he pulled out a prototype of a hand-held music player that he insisted would replace Sony’s famous Walkman.

Mr. Sim’s device was breathtaking, possessing all the elements of what we now know as the MP3 player. Yet today, a Silicon Valley icon, Apple, dominates the market for MP3 players with the iPod. In recognition of its emergence as a music powerhouse, last month Apple dropped the word “computer” from its name."

Also G. Pascal Zachary from NYT says: "When It Comes to Innovation, Geography Is Destiny"

We pretty much agree with these conclusions/opinions and we also had a previous post on the matter called "Silicon Valley is Non Replicable".

Another post at Read/Write Web contains lost of comments on the subject.
