Co-Working: The Iceberg!!!!!
The Iceberg is a cool place to work in tiny Fayetteville, Arkansas. The basement space is divided into areas, such as a coffee shop/lounge, conference room, workspace, and resource library. Rent is affordable at The Iceberg, and they offer day passes to those passing through.
The Iceberg is Fayetteville’s brand new, 5,600-square-foot co-working facility specifically designed for entrepreneurs and the like-minded who either can’t afford an office of their own, due to bootstrapped budgets, or who simply want the multiplied resources that an open, collaborative space brings to the table. These resources range from experienced advice in the various business fields to possible financial investment.
Josh Clemence and Maurice Elliot founded Northwest Arkansas Entrepreneurship Alliance which made The Iceberg.
Here are some materials about The Iceberg:

Firefly lets you share your screen view with others!!!
Firefly looks like it has the potential to be disruptive, too. Founded by three students at the University of Pennsylvania and the school’s Wharton School of Management, Firefly sees its opportunity in being singularly focused on the customer service market as opposed to GoInstant, which is going after the the larger enterprise market with a full set of features, such as embedded chat, mobile, and analytics. Instead, Firefly is focusing on the lower end of the enterprise market with its screen-sharing only service.

Cleverbug brings you personalized cards!!!!!
Cleverbug is an app that allows you to send printed, personalized birthday cards straight from your mobile device. It connects with Facebook to automatically create a unique store of cards for each of your friends, personalizes each design with their Facebook photos, and allows you to mail your chosen card anywhere in the world. In November 2012 Cleverbug was named Best Digital Startup at the Eircom Spiders awards in Ireland.
Cleverbug is currently available as an app for the iPhone and iPad.
Cleverbug’s aim is to actively disrupt the $27 billion greeting card industry by leveraging Facebook’s open graph data and our own print expertise to create pre-personalized, printed birthday cards. By offering each user a unique store of cards that can be sent from their mobile phone, Cleverbug taps into three current shifts in the technology industry: the move to mobile, the re-focusing of online offerings around people rather than content, and the desire to connect the online and offline worlds.
