Pull up a chair and listen to the Mobissimo story:

There has been some confusion amongst first time visitors to Mobissimo as well as the always vigilant and accurate media as to what it is we do exactly. Well, it depends on the day folks. Sometimes we sell small arms to promising revolutions worldwide but usually, we’re what’s called a travel search engine or more obtusely, a meta-search engine. To be clear, as a meta-search engine, we retrieve and display prices from over 157 different sites across the world in real-time based on your search criteria. When you see a price you like and click on the details link, we send you directly to the site where we found the information. Perhaps most importantly, the prices you see on our site are EXACTLY what you would see if you conducted the search directly on Orbitz, Cheaptickes, American Airlines, Jet Blue or any of the 157 other sites we search. So naturally, the next question you might ask yourself is how Mobissimo is different than other meta-search engines out there? Because, lets be honest, you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a travel meta-search nowadays.

Let us explain:

* Some of our ahem competitors do not search sites directly; they pull their prices and availability from somewhere else, resulting in prices that are not accurate or searches that need to be recreated on the supplier site again. Not on Mobissimo, what you see is what you would get if you searched each site directly.

* We search many, many, many more suppliers than anyone else. So, for example, you’re trying to get a cheap flight from Boston to Bombay, we’re the only travel search engine that searches the specialized India travel site MakeMyTrip. Why does that matter? We save you money and time by providing access to airfare, hotel rooms, and cars from an unequalled number of travel sites.

* We have no peer when it comes to finding international flights and hotels. Anybody else out there search Lufthansa directly? How about MakeMyTrip? SpiceJet? Nope. Nope. Nope. See the complete list here. If you want to save money flying or staying abroad, use Mobissimo.

* Power Tools. Sick of pop-up calendars and pull down menus? Use our OneBox Search. Need to check flight into multiple cities from one origin, try our PowerSearch. Need a cheap flight into Europe in the summer, buy two tickets and save via MobiCombo.

And that, MobiFans, is just the tip of the iceberg. Stay tuned for even greater things from your humble travel search engine. Same MobiChannel. Same MobiTime.  You can Click here to visit the tutorials:

rVita’s mission is to help people heal themselves with the help of Integrative, Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Here’s the swing and the pitch:

rVita applies to those who:

* Are new to integrative alternative therapies for self healing and are looking for background and scientific trial information as well as data from other users and trusted experts.
* Are trying to compare treatments.
* Are looking for knowledgeable, seasoned Practitioners.

No one wants to spend days researching this information on the web. At rVita, you can run targeted searches on various medical conditions and therapies, ask questions, and connect with a Practitioner. As a result, at rVita, we get you to healing faster.

How rVita is different

We believe alternatives to rVita exist. However, usually people are left with the burden of identifying reputed content, and experimenting with various remedies and Practitioners until they find the one that works. This often leads to frustration and prevents the use of these age old remedies in the US and the world. At rVita, we have gathered reputable content, trusted Practitioners, and web information related to your condition and remedy, enabling you to make informed decisions about your condition and treatment options.

The rVita Team

Our team’s background includes consumer, business, and internet experts (excite@Home, Jamcracker, Merced Systems, Freebates), Strategy Consulting (Keystone Strategy), Integrative Medicine (Oakland), Family Practice (San Jose), Yoga and Wellness(Berkeley) and Web media (Los Angles). Our team has degrees from nationally recognized institutions such as Stanford, UC San Francisco Osher Center, UC Santa Barbara, and University of Chicago.

rVita is funded by Svapas Innovations (http://www.svapas.com/), a multi disciplinary incubator, which has offices in Santa Clara, California and Chennai, India.

Why we are doing this

Nearly all of our team members have used or practiced CAM. We have put together this team to help others separate science from snake oil. We are doing this so you can get to healing faster. It is our goal, our hope, and our promise to you.

Thanks, Jeffrey!
