By: goodlaptopbattery.com.au Goodlaptopbattery’ Check out our list below and let us know in the comments which websites you have your eye on for the coming year. 1. Kickstarter Kickstarter, a crowdfunding platform for creative endeavors, was founded in April 2009 and had what many would consider a break-out year in 2010. But the site could be poised for an even bigger 2011. The unique all-or-nothing approach to funding has struck a chord with both creators and funders and is allowing enterprising individuals to bypass traditional establishments to create films, music albums, events, and even products. Kickstarter helped hundreds of projects raise millions of dollars in 2010. Look for that number to continue going up in the next year. 2. OpenLeaks OpenLeaks may very well be the WikiLeaks alternative in 2011, not as a destination, but as an enabler for media organizations to do the same as WikiLeaks. OpenLeaks, unlike WikiLeaks, seeks to be an intermediary between whistleblowers and other organizations and includes former members of WikiLeaks, most notably, Daniel Domscheit-Berg. The site will focus more on being a technological service for news organizations, likely enabling them to make it easier for their readers to submit such leaks to their own sites. This may keep the scrutiny from politicians and officials — something WikiLeaks has had to battle with this year — away from OpenLeaks, as they won’t be the ones publishing the material. 3. Klout As social marketing starts to surpass traditional marketing methods, companies will look for influential individuals who can rep their product well. Klout is one of the tools that companies use to gauge who the social influencers are. Look for them to make some big moves in 2011. 4. Hipmunk Hipmunk is fixing everything that’s wrong with flight searches with a tool whose usefulness is immense. Once people get used to the interface and start telling their friends about it, Hipmunk’s popularity will skyrocket. 5. Gilt Groupe Gilt Groupe, which hired its 500th employee in 2010, is rapidly expanding into new verticals (such as location-specific group buying deals, a la Groupon) and territories (like Japan). Its next target? Full-priced retail. It’s launching a men’s e-commerce site in February. Expect to see further development in that area and the geographical expansion of its existing products in 2011. http://www.goodlaptopbattery.com.au/ Factory-direct price, fast shipping and 100% Secure Shopping Guarantee!

Diaspora Diaspora, the open source social network platform, released its code and opened up to private alpha invites recently. The platform was dubbed the alternative to FacebookFacebookFacebook, during Facebook’s privacy fiasco, and generated a lot of buzz. But as the platform opens up to more users in 2011, we’ll see how people react to it and whether it’s something that will actually be an alternative option to the social networking giant 7. Quora Quora has clearly found its place with the early adopter set and a number of active, high profile users who make the service interesting to engage with. In 2011, it will be interesting to see if the company is able to expand its audience while maintaining the quality Q&A that has made it so attractive to users thus far. In turn, we’ll see if it’s the next big thing or has a destiny more like that of FriendFeedFriendFeedFriendFeed, a community that was initially popular with early adopters but never found a mainstream audience (but ultimately found a home at Facebook). more information here: http://www.goodlaptopbattery.com.au/ # # # www.batteryfast.com.au is everyone's one-stop shop for HP laptop batteries, Toshiba laptop batteries, Dell laptop batteries, HP laptop AC adapters and Dell laptop DC adapters,all our batteries are satisfation guarantee, brand new with 1 year warranty!
