Technology continues to evolve. Instagram for photos. Twitter for random thoughts and Linkedin for professional networking. Now there’s something for dentists.

“We basically have put both dental offices and dentists and job seekers in the driver’s seat,” said Feridoon Amini, Founder of Dental Spots. “They can go to our site and tell us what days they’re available, how far from their home they want to work and how they want to be notified when a job becomes available.”

Amini says he came up with the idea for Dental Spots to save employers time and money while they search for potential employees.

“We are positioning Dental Spots to be a hub for dental professionals, whatever they do,” said Amini. “Whether they’re dental assistants, dental hygienests, dentists or even in sales. We are trying to be a comprehensive solution that provides dental and dental industry with solutions that impacts their bottom line.”

“When you can scan resumes online and not have to deal with the hassle of pen and paper or putting a listing in the newspaper it’s great,” said dentist Sarah Poteet. “This is the way of the feature for sure.”

And job seekers can post their resume on the site and they can receive notifications when a job becomes available in their area. The feature Amini raves about most is job seeker’s ability to post a video resume, something he said came from user comments.

“We don’t have a lot of time to spend finding temporary employment or new hires so this is an easy way, in our own time, on the computer to pre-screen candidates, especially with the video features they have,” said Poteet. “It’s a great way to get to know the potential candidate without wasting the time with bringing them in the office all the time.”

Amini says Dental Spots also launched mobile apps for the iPhone and Android that helps people find temporary employment or pick up extra shifts.

It’s the world’s largest professional network on the Internet. With more than one hundred and fifty million members in over two hundred countries. Linkedin’s social media website has become the place where professionals go to find jobs, connect and get answers. Socially Savvy Seminar in Plano hosted over three hundred business professionals who came to hear from Linkedin Co-Founder Eric Ly.

“We’re certainly very pleased by all of the people who have joined and really the positive impacts it’s made on people’s professional lives,” said Ly.

“Being in the industry right now and performing these types of tasks for my job it was a great quick starter for me,” said Brandon Foster who attended the seminar.

Ly spoke on how networking through social media can give you an edge in developing your professional career.

“It was really nice to have someone like that up close and personal,” said attendee Stephanie Ward.

A simple connection making a world of a difference.

Electric go karts are turning wheels in Frisco.

“They’re really, really fast but they don’t use gas,” said Robert Finley, Co-Owner of Pole Position Raceway.

Pole Position Raceway originally started in California in 2005.  Now, the company has seven locations across the country, and their newest electric kart racetrack just opened.

“The concept was, let’s do indoor karting like we’ve never done before,” said Finley. “It was always done with gas powered go karts. These are electric battery powered go karts.“

Don’t let the electric karts fool you.  Their torque and acceleration are arguably better than any gas kart out there and even the biggest race fanatics say their power is impressive.

“It’s better than the gasoline powered ones, which is shocking to me because I’ve been driving gasoline engines my whole life,” said customer Michael Arden.

“Actually coming in I thought electric go karts, forty five miles an hour there’s no way they can go that fast,” said Brantley Price, employee of Pole Position Raceway.  ”But then after I’ve been in the seat of these at least ten times, every time it’s an adrenaline rush.”

Finley is excited to see so many people enjoying the new concept, and he’s already announcing plans of a new track in North Texas.

“The goal is in about ninety days we’re going to start breaking ground on another one over in on the west side toward Fort Worth near maybe Southlake,” said Finley.

Finley says it’s been hard work opening the Frisco track, but he’s not complaining.

“I’m having a blast,” said Finley. “It’s not work when you’re having fun everyday.”

And he says his goal is to make sure everyone at Pole Position Raceway is having as much fun as he is.

After Will Rosellini left the world of professional sports, he dedicated himself to science, a passion developed while watching some of the world’s best pitchers.

“I was curious how they could throw with the accuracy of a quarter of an inch, but I could only throw with the accuracy of three to four inches,” said Rosellini, CEO of MicroTransponder.

The former professional baseball player realized this tiny difference related to the nervous system.  That discovery led him to start MicroTransponder, a company developing solutions to treat neurological disorders.

“What we’ve found in clinical studies is that by applying electricity to the vagus nerve we can open up a window in the brain with neurotransmitters that allow us to drive the brain to pay attention and learn faster,” said Rosellini.

MicroTransponder and research partner UT Dallas have quickly discovered their findings could potentially help people with a particular disorder.

“The place where that’s been immediately successful and applicable would be in the treatment of Tinnitus,” said Rosellini.

Tinnitus is not an ordinary ringing of the ears.  It’s constant and can reach unbearable decibels, affecting the way of life for people like Phillip Lofton who suffers from Tinnitus.

“Because you suffer alone and nobody else can hear it, it’s hard for my family members and friends to understand it never, ever goes away,” said Lofton.

For twenty years Lofton has battled Tinnitus. The noise he hears has been measured at decibels equaling a jet engine. To Rosellini, that sound is a reminder of why he’s working so hard.

“For nearly two million people the tinnitus is so bad it affects them at work and for 15% of people of Tinnitus sufferers they’re emotionally disturbed by the suffering,” said Rosellini.

MicroTransponder has seen successful results on human patients in Belgium, and they are currently raising funds to be approved in the United States.

“For smaller companies that are doing medical products, we need to raise on the order of ten to twelve million dollars to get our product approved by the FDA,” said Rosellini.

Although MicroTransponder is in the early stages of fundraising and treatment, the company has big plans.

“We intend to restore or enhance the nervous system of one million patients worldwide,” said Rosellini.

And as long as he still suffers, Lofton says he wants to help find a solution.

Brittany McIntyre is one of eight hundred million people with an active Facebook account. Instead of posting pictures, McIntyre is using her iPhone to play a new networking game called Republik of MYIA. Similar to the popular game Farmville, users are able to build a virtual world.

“It’s a step up from Farmville because you also get the social networking aspect of it and you also get some fun games to go along with it,” said Brittany McIntyre. “You get to win stuff which is pretty cool.”

The game is the brain child of Creator Philippe Van Hecke. After seeing how excited people got building farms and trading livestock, Hecke wanted to build his own game, but give players better access to stay connected.

“What we wanted is to create a PC based game that had all mobile components embedded into the game so I think thats what we’ve created here at the Republik of MYIA,” said Philippe Van Hecke.  ”It’s the first of it’s kind.”

Like farmville the Republik of MYIA can be played on any desktop or laptop computer but now users can use their Smartphones to play, and that means you can keep your world up and running anytime anywhere. That’s why Coleton Burch is glad he became a Myia fan. He doesn’t have to worry about his game falling apart while he’s away from his laptop.

“It’s cool how they send you mobile alerts when you’re away from your game so you can always be reminded what’s going on in your community and keep your people happy and your community safe,” said Coleton Burch.

To give users even more reason to log and keep playing, Hecke says everybody with a MYIA world will have a chance win all kinds of prizes.

“On City Hall you have the weekly sweepstakes that you can simply enter by clicking on it,” said Hecke. “It captures your cellphone information, and thats another real reward connected to what you are doing in the virtual community.”

Night clubs, banks and even churches. Build it all and share it with your friends. No doubt your virtual community will rest easy knowing you’re never to far away.

It has been a year of lights, camera and action for WebBeat.TV talking social media and just plain having fun.

“I’m addicted to the web,” said Pelpina Trip.

Pelpina Trip has wrapped up three hundred and sixty five days as the Host of WebBeat.TV an online show that’s all about the internet.

“On every regular show we have a website of the day and I cover some viral videos,” said Trip.

The former CW33 social media reporter has a love for the web and its constant evolution.

“It’s insane,” said Trip. “I mean I remember when I first started at the 33 News and people were talking about this thing called Twitter.”

Now Trip admits she is a Twitter addict but aside from a love for surfing the web she enjoys finding out how the web is shaping the world around us.

“And it’s really interesting to be able to talk to professionals about what the real impact is of social media,” said Trip.

Professionals like Social Media Club of Dallas, Mike Merrill, who joined the WebBeat.TV crew for an episode about tips on using Linkedin. Trip’s counterpart is Videographer Norm Flores. Though he’s usually behind the scenes the two gave viewers a few laughs.

“Sometimes we’ll cut away to me doing something funny or kind of on the dumb side,” said Norm Flores.

This crew will move on to the next chapter of their media careers. A year of WebBeat.TV has opened their eyes to where they see the future of media: more online driven content.

“And that’s really what I’m passionate about,” said Trip.
