Dude, there is a lot of money out there. And it's going to some freaking weird places. Look at NEA's most recent investment in China. Baihe.com. I want to be like that couple, so so much - don't you?
Now check this out. Tutorvista.com: a startup that screens Indian tutors and then offers their services online to Americans and Brits. Pricing? $19.99 per hour or $99.99 per month for unlimited tutor access. Sequoia invested in their Series A yesterday. So much for extra spending money from tutoring off Craigslist.
And now, one last gadget that got $7m of financing this week as well. An outdoor sink/garden house winder. The company has 88% market share of the US automatic hose rewinding market. Sweet.
Ohohoh! One more thing. I feel super Web1.0 for opting for Wine Spectator Online, when I found corkd today. Oh well. Now we can use both. Audrey is better at documenting our wines than I am anyhow. But their traffic? Corkd is outgrowing Wine Spectator by leaps and bounds.
No more talking shop for a while. Back to my typical ditzy girl stuff.

So I just went and browsed around corkd. They don't have nearly the database that WS has. So now I don't feel so bad for being suckered into paying my yearly subscription.

There is also a website called myhwsolution.com which is similar to tutorvista.com
myhwsolution.com helps you with a particular homework and you can hire a tutor from them.
I think they are also an Indian firm who tutors students online.

I came across www.TutorQuick.com through Google. Impressive website offering tutoring in many subjects.
Pricing is quite affordable with tutoring price as low as $10.99/hour.
Best feature - offers instant tutoring, no need to wait around to get an online tutor. Though instant session costs slightly more than the regular one but who cares !! when you need help desperately.
