Calling all geeks! Do you have a hot idea for a start-up? If so, this boot camp where Silicon Valley meets 'American Idol' is for you. That is, if you make the cut.Sitting at the long trestle tables in Y Combinator's Mountain View, Calif., headquarters last January, the Weeblies felt wobbly. Back home at Penn State, the three undergraduates were alpha geeks, go-getters who'd capitalized on the university's requirement that students have a Web portfolio by creating software that makes it really easy for students to build a personal site. The trio—David Rusenko, Dan Veltri and Chris Fanini, all 22 years old—decided to start a company, calling it Weebly because it sounded good and the domain name was open. Then last November they heard about a company called Y Combinator that gives seed money to fledgling start-ups and imports a bunch to Silicon Valley for three months of intensive entrepreneuring. They sent off their application the day before the deadline, and made the cut. |

 Zenter
Zenter is an online presentation service that will be having the typical functionality of Powerpoint, alongwith the ability to directly add content from the web (Google Images). Zenter slide shows could be made public or private. The public slides could be used by other users, to remix from or add to their own presentations. Not only am I looking forward to the launch of this service, but also towards its integration with Snipshot (an online photo editing service, funded by YCombinator) to work with the images before adding them to the slides, or work on images after they have been inserted into the slides. Competitors include Zoho, Thinkfree, Empressr, Thumbstacks and Slideshare. |

The dot edu, or .edu, extension is reserved for educational institutions such as elementary schools, high schools, and colleges and universities. As an individual, you could not register a domain name that ends in .edu. When we talk about the domain name, we cannot escape the presence of top level domain names or commonly called as domain name extensions. It is for the reason that the domain name extensions are a great part of a domain name. It is in fact a general view that all of the domain name extensions, whether it is a dot com, dot net, dot org, or dot edu domain names, really play a great part for identifying a domain name. If the dot com, dot net, and dot org is the most common types of domain name extensions and has contributed a great part in the field of domain name, the dot edu domain name is also of great importance.
