In an effort to emphasize the company’s commitment to Wearable Technology and the Internet of Wearable Things (IOWT), Stained Glass Labs changed its name to Wearable World Inc. today.

In an announcement made by co-­founders Redg Snodgrass and Kyle Ellicott, Mr. Snodgrass stated, “We want to be more focused on the over-­arching ecosystem and not just a single player in the space. The world of Wearable Technology includes innovative consumer products beyond GLASS, and thus demands a platform for those in the community to engage, learn and connect with the global Wearable Technology ecosystem.

Wearable World is the answer to the call for a united community voice. Wearable World brings all aspects of our business offerings together nicely under one overarching umbrella, including GLAZED Conferences, WeCodeWe, Wearable Wednesdays and the Incubator. Through these programs, Wearable World acts as the catalyst for future Wearable Technology innovation. While we still believe that GLASS is a part of the future of Wearable Tech, we feel now is the time to expand our brand and corporate commitment to include and embrace the multitude of viable platforms coming online.” Read More...

Our start-up, ExpertOpinions.info, is an outlier. We’re building an online consumer recommendation magazine, not a tech site. Algorithms mean nothing to us – we create content through research and curation, performed by actual living and breathing humanoids.

We don’t have a traditional founder structure, which incubator GrowLab in Vancouver defines as “a hustler and a hacker.” We’re based in sleepy Nevada City rather than Mountain View or San Francisco. We’re a comprehensive consumer guide, not a niche site. We won’t generate revenues for 6 to 12 months after we launch. Read More...

The internet has presented us with a world of new opportunities.  We can now communicate, share and access information like never before.  This has allowed online many businesses to thrive, in loads of different sectors.  The internet allows people to earn money, or start a business without many resources.  There are some amazing success stories of kids who have set up websites on the cheap as a hobby, and they have progressed into million dollar businesses!  The list of ways of earning money online is endless, but we are going to cover some of the major ones.

Stocks and Shares

The wealth of information available to us makes the process of evaluating stock prices much more achievable.  Whereas you would previously have had to have some sort of inside link to be kept up to date with the latest developments of a company, we can now access this information as and when it happens.  This has allowed people to research the value of stocks, and buy them when they are cheap.  This is a risky game, however.  In order to make money off the larger (safer) sticks (i.e. FTSE100 firms) you must invest a lot of money, to make a relatively small return.  And by investing in the smaller (higher risk/higher return) stocks, you can risk a lot to win a lot.
