Love by numbers: Searching for love? Why not try Googling for it instead? SocialGrid is a new company that's trying to harness the power of the Google search engine as a massive dating service with no membership fees or search criteria limits. It works by providing a framework for searching for people and photos. And don't steal their idea - a big warning on the front page reminds you there's a lawyer on retainer to thwart copycats. Find your love and about a zillion pages of porn links at www.socialgrid.com.

Money for nothing: Check this out. Instead of getting busted for sharing files on Kazaa, get cash. A new p2p network called Weed offers you a commission when someone buys a song you feature in your database. Does it work? Maybe. But it's an interesting way to make crime pay, sort of. Contemplate innovation at www.weedshare.com.
