What was hot on QBase last week + QBase Exchange

New to QBase: the Startup Exchange allows the leveraging of the wisdom of our community to value startup companies. It’s the first predictive market around startup companies that actually provides a dynamic valuation for these companies. Each company on the Startup Exchange has one million shares, so a company trading at T$100 is valued as a $100 million company by our community. Anyone can participate in the Startup Exchange. New players receive T$100,000 to invest in any company on the exchange. If they think a company is over valued, they also have the option of short selling the stock. There are currently 50 companies on the Exchange. We will be having regular IPOs to add new startups to the exchange as well. Well worth checking out.

Would you use SaysMe?
SaysMe is a new service that allows users to buy and create your own TV ads that get shown on TV. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see why anyone would want to do this as an individual. Maybe I’m missing something.

Yahoo Widget TV
So yahoo and intel have teamed up to bring interenet functionality to regular television sets. Using existing technologies such as flash, javascript, xml, etc they hope to have you the viewer use the tv to surf the web for things like tracking stocks, sports teams, etc.

Remember, QBase is a free service that anyone is welcome to edit and/ or add their own startup. If you’re not on QBase yet, what are you waiting for, and all content is syndicated through Tradevibes to Mashable and ReadWriteWeb as well.

Sky-High Surfing To Stay Fee-Free For Some

Surfing the net from the friendly skies won’t cost a dime to subscribers of iPass, thanks to a new deal struck this afternoon.

iPass announced it’ll include airborne Wi-Fi provider Aircell in its network of services. Aircell is expected to launch its GoGo in-flight internet access on selected flights later this year, starting with American Airlines and Virgin America. Passengers will have to pay a per-flight charge of about $10 to login.

Anyone with the iPass software, though, will be able to get instant access with a single click, according to the company’s just-released plan.

“Mobile workers have become accustomed to high-speed Internet access at home, in hotels and airports, and even in the car, but when they get on planes they have been unable to communicate,” iPass VP of Business Development Michael Moore stated.

“Our partnership brings together the new Gogo service with iPass’ ability to integrate connectivity with mobility management. Our enterprise customers will be able to keep their employees productive but maintain the necessary policies they need to support their business,” he said.

iPass offers remote access for mobile companies across 160 countries. It provides hotspot points at hotels, airports, and other various locations for a flat monthly fee.

I may not have iPass, but I nevertheless look forward to making my first posts from 35,000 feet in the air. Maybe from the lavatory, just to make it seem more scandalous. Hey, it might not be as cool as the mile-high club, but in-flight blogging’s gotta give you some kind of bragging rights, doesn’t it?
