Pelago raises $15 million

The international expansion comes early in Whrrl's life cycle, as the company has yet to actively promote the service in North America.

It introduced Whrrl -- a mobile city guide of sorts that also allows cell phone users to pinpoint their friends' locations on a map -- in October. Whrrl is still in testing, with the company declining to disclose the number of downloads.

But two of the company's new backers are well-positioned to help with the new international push -- Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile unit and Reliance Technology Ventures of India. Other investors in the round, which follows a $7.4 million financing in 2006, are DAG Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Trilogy Equity Partners and Bezos Expeditions.

Jeff Holden, the former Amazon.com executive who co-founded Pelago, said the company wanted to move quickly into international markets before competition arrives. more

Better safe than sorry

Small to micro businesses just starting up or in their first year of trade might consider using PayPal as their online payment system, says small business lecturer and IT expert, Andrew Thornberry from Yuranga.com.

''PayPal has a bit of a stigma because of its relationship with eBay,'' says Thornberry.

eBay has been accused of forcing all sellers to use PayPal while some small to medium-sized eBay sellers would prefer to accept direct bank transfers or cheques as PayPal charges a fee for each transaction.

''But for those businesses that want to be able to take payment with credit cards, PayPal is the simplest method to use because you don't have to talk to a bank or set up merchant summary facilities, which can be much more costly,'' he says. more

UTV Earmarks $75 Million to Expand New-Media Business

The firm, which operates a range of businesses, including TV production, channels, feature film production and distribution, animation and gaming, reported revenues for the period of Rs. 1.45 billion ($35.1 million), a 154-percent gain on the year-ago period. Net income was Rs. 251 million ($5.9 million), a 176-percent increase.

Part of the $75 million set aside for new-media businesses will go to investing in a start-up in the U.S. that is active in the online gaming space. In addition, UTV has entered into a memorandum of understanding to acquire a controlling stake in a mobile games aggregator in the U.S. UTV is also planning to up its stake in Ignition, the U.K.-based games publisher, from 70 percent to 95 percent. An investment will also be made to boost Ignition�s working capital as it continues to develop console games out of London, Florida and Tokyo. more

Rage Against The Dying Of The Light

At great geographical risk from its suited and booted neighbours in the City of London, Shoreditch houses many independent businesses that are so vital to its character. Local residents fear that not only will the area's architectural integrity be damaged, but house prices will rise too, bringing in cultural homogeneity when the artistic masses are forced to move out and the city workers move in.

It's the same old trajectory, one that the residents near Spitalfields and Camden Market say they are familiar with – developers move in, the beautiful lines and undulations of the cityscape are compromised, house prices rise and the businesses of local people go under. Whether this is too simple a story remains to be seen – culture and creation can flourish among capitalism, new buildings become a part of the horizon, and new areas become the next cultural hub. more

The membership drive is on

The Chamber is encouraging existing businesses and new businesses alike to join. The membership drive will continue until the end of June.

"There are a number of benefits in becoming a member of the Chamber that one could say that joining the Chamber is simply good business!" said Kevin Soady-Easton, president of the West Grey Chamber of Commerce.

"The Chamber has a long history of service to its members in West Grey. This is a testament of the value the membership finds in being a member of this business service organization. I encourage every West Grey business to join and share in the many benefits that can be realized from being a member," said Mayor Kevin Eccles.

The West Grey Chamber is a business-focused organization dedicated to providing value added services and benefits to its members. more
