If you looking to arrange an event that involves selling tickets (or even unpaid) Amiando offers a one-stop-shop for all of your online event management needs. They have several products which include a free (tester), a pay per ticket and a pay per person version to suit the size and type of event that you are holding. The free version is a little redundant with Facebook events, however is you are looking to create a nice website with URL, manage registration and analyze the attendance etc. then this seems to hit the mark. One to remember when your creating your next big event.

Here's a great concept building upon the increasing number of people self-propelling themselves to work each day. The Urban Outfitters Bike Store allows you to customize pretty much every component of your bike. The site tells you the expected build time and for a standard price of $399 USD. I just wish they delivered to international destinations.

Hopefully a few other manufacturers of products that also consist of several components that are interchangeable and modular take note.

A great article by Guy Kawasaki about the value of making meaning. In this short article Guy argues that companies should focus on making meaning and not focusing on making profits, as the latter attracts people with the wrong mindset, that of a quick buck and name to put on their CV.

In short, Guy describes four primary ways to make meaning:
1. Enable people to do things they could not do before;
2. Enable people to do things they were already doing but now in a much better way;
3. End bad things like violence, pollution, oppression and evil; and
4. Perpetuate good things that foster emotions such as joy, mastery and fun.

By making meaning Guy argues that contrary to popular belief you won't be stuck in poverty but rather you'll be making money, a natural consequence of making meaning.

Helping babies communicate with their parents through a ink pigment with heat sensitive molecules, these baby garments change color with baby's temperature - meaning they can tell parents when their child is getting too hot and help prevent catastrophic illness. The Babyglows come in pink, blue and pastel green, all of which turn white as soon as the baby's temperature rises above 37c.

Six years ago, Chris Ebejer, conceived a way to identify when babies were overheating. Now, proudly, he is delivering his fully-formed creation to the world as the father of one has signed a £12.5million contract with a manufacturer to take his 'Babyglow' babygrows global.

Based in the US, the Trunk Club assigns each of its clients a personal clothing expert to recommend, find and deliver clothing and accessories that complement their own personal style. Men begin by filling out an application for a free membership on the site. They then have a 15-minute or so introductory, webcam-enabled session from home or office with their personal shopper, who then sends out an initial shipment of name-brand clothes. Customers pay just retail price for the clothes they decide to keep—no minimum purchase is required—and the Trunk Club covers shipping both ways. After that clients can connect with their shopper as often as they want in person or via the company's Skype-based webcam platform—no visits to retail stores are ever required. The Trunk Club's personal shoppers work on commission, according to TechCrunch; the company's revenue derives from retail markups on clothes bought from partner manufacturers at wholesale prices, with no minimum inventory required.
The Trunk Club officially launched just two weeks ago, and it's currently looking for entrepreneurs who can work virtually on its behalf with members around the world. One to get in on early...? (@trendbird)
