Website For You

youcalc offers an on-demand analytics platform for businesses and private users.

Business users can build and run custom analytics apps (sales analytics, marketing analytics, financial reporting, HR performance, etc.) on top of on-demand/SaaS applications. Current solutions cover analytics for salesforce.com, SugarCRM, Highrise CRM, Google AdWords, etc., and more systems and solutions are added each week.

Businesses pay a monthly per user subscription fee, which gives access to build and run any number of analytics apps on any number of data sources.

youcalc offers private users free access to build and run analytics apps and widgets on most public data sources (Google Finance, eBay, Amazon, etc.), allowing users to create and share interactive chart widgets that analyze sports data, politics data, financial data, etc.

youcalc apps can run anywhere - inside iGoogle, inside salesforce.com, in a blog, on a Facebook account, etc.



Creating the world's largest library of analytics apps

youcalc offers a vast library of analytics apps, which users can run as is or customize.
Our mission is to leverage user driven innovation to create the world’s largest library of analytics apps for any imaginable purpose.

All apps become accessible from our app gallery, for any youcalc user to use, copy, or customize into new apps. Users cannot see each other's data, but the model logic behind any app is public.

In the future, users of youcalc will be able to find analytics apps for just about any imaginable purpose, select an app, customize it to their needs, connect it to their data, and take it into use.

Building and customizing a youcalc app is a zero-code drag-and-drop process. Connecting to data sources is a few-clicks operation and modeling calculation logic is similar to spreadsheet modeling. Adding interactive charts is pure drag-and-drop from a large flash chart library. Finally, distributing apps to run in a browser, as a widget, on a mobile device, etc. is a one-click operation. Users without the skills to build or modify apps can crowd-source custom needs to the youcalc developer community.

CitySquares was founded in 2005 based on the simple premise that finding local, neighborhood businesses online is really hard and very frustrating. Furthermore, small businesses are being challenged every day to keep up with the Jones’. Until recently, they had very little chance to compete with national advertisers for consumer attention. So, CitySquares provides small, independent businesses an opportunity to reach a qualified, local consumer audience through a search engine optimized profile on it’s highly trafficked, consumer-facing website. CitySquares provides its content to users in a hyper-local context, that is, neighborhoods and other relevant localities.

Local businesses are able to take full advantage our search engine optimized information architecture and fully customize and personalize their CitySquares.com advertising campaigns through enhanced business profiles, display advertising, Constant Contact email newsletters, merchant videos from TurnHere, and more. All of this is provided to the customer without complex variable pricing.

CitySquares is a privately-funded company with its headquarters in the South End neighborhood of Boston, MA. The company is led by an experienced team and funded by investors who share our vision. Our investments have been lead by eCoast Angel Network, with participation from outside investors including Jonathan Kraft, President of the Kraft Group, and Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and Chairman of HDNet, among others. These individuals bring their specialized expertise to help us develop the business and improve your CitySquares experience.

Incidentally, this is a fantastic example of a brand listening to the conversation about them online. Not only did CitySquares engage in the conversation, they made a change to their product that benefits everyone.

Yahoo is both a search engine and a directory. By submitting your site to Yahoo's human-edited directory, you may have a better chance of being found by purely spider-driven engines (such as Google). It's best to figure out exactly where your site or content may fit in the Yahoo structure before submitting willy-nilly to anything that has the word "submit" in it. Expect a "reasonable delay" when using any of these site submission options.

There are eight submission options with Yahoo; I'm going to briefly go over them one by one:

- free site submission
- free mobile site submission
- free media content submission
- Yahoo search index submission
- sponsored search
- product submission
- travel submission
- Yahoo directory submit
- Yahoo standard submission

Navigate to the CompletePlanet.com home page, and you'll see the standard search query bar right in the middle of the page. Below that, you have a wide variety of topics from which to choose - this is a good place to start if you have a really good idea of where your particular search query is headed. Let's look at both options and see what happens.

My search for clouds using the standard search bar returned 187 "related databases." Your CompletePlanet results are a bit different than searching for the word "clouds" in a less focused search portal; instead of your search results page being full of links to a whole bunch of Web sites, CompletePlanet uses its technology called Deep Query Manager instead to search databases. Your results, therefore, are made up of various Deep Web databases.

My search for clouds using the topic database worked a bit differently. I chose the topic science in order to initially narrow down my search, then I decided to explore Meterology. At this point, CompletePlanet only returned one result for my intial search query of clouds, but it was a pretty good one - it turned out to be the Australian government's Greenhouse and Climate change page. I think that for me, I prefer narrowing down my topic from the get-go in CompletePlanet, since I felt the results were more targeted and relevant; however, I believe that it's completely your own personal preference.

At the bottom of every search result, you'll see little colored squares indicated how relevant your result is to your original search query; the highest score is four squares, so the more squares, the better. Next to that you'll see the size of that particular file and the date it was "harvested", rather, when CompletePlanet spidered that page.

CompletePlanet Advanced Search

CompletePlanet Advanced Search is pretty standard; you get the option to search by title, keyword, description, date, etc. I would also highly recommend that you take a quick look at CompletePlanet Search Help - it's a great introduction to what you can really do with CompletePlanet.

Why Should I Use CompletePlanet?

First of all, it's extremely easy to use, and even more simple to narrow down searches without a lot of complicated search syntax or search operators. Secondly, CompletePlanet is searching the Invisible Web; so your results overall are of a higher standard (since they are in academic, government, military, etc. databases) than if you searched for the same item in a general search engine. Thirdly, I really like how CompletePlanet's list of topics is right on the front page - it makes it easy to narrow down or broaden your search; plus, I just enjoy seeing what's out there in topics I wouldn't ordinarily be searching within. I highly recommend CompletePlanet as a great tool with which to search the Deep Web.
